General description

Bromopyruvic acid is an affinity label for cysteine residues†. It acts as cross-linker between nucleic acids and proteins. Kinetics of inactivation of pancreatic ribonuclease A by bromopyruvic acid has been investigated.
may contain traces of dibromopyruvic acid

Application

Bromopyruvic acid was used in the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acids.

The first continuous flow synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acids directly from 2-aminopyridines and bromopyruvic acid has been developed, representing a significant advance over the corresponding in-flask method.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [EC 4.1.1.31] from Escherichia coli W was alkylated by incubation with bromopyruvate, substrate analog, leading to irreversible inactivation. The reaction followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. Mg2+, an essential cofactor for catalysis, enhanced the inactivation, and the enhancing effect increased as
