General description

2,2′-Dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) is an aromatic disulphide.

Application

2,2′-Dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) was employed:
  • as cysteine-activating reagent to study the NMR of G protein-coupled receptors
  • in the deprotection assays for protected selenocysteine-containing peptides
  • for deprotecting p-methoxybenzyl groups and acetamidomethyl groups from the side-chains of cysteine and selenocysteine
  • to remove the p-methoxybenzyl protecting group from cysteine and selenocysteine side-chains

Functional modifications of neuronal P/Q-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes by oxidation were examined electrophysiologically. Oxidation by external H2O2 enhanced the whole-oocyte currents through the Ca2+ channels composed of the alpha1A, alpha2/delta, and beta3 subunits at negative voltages
