Application
2-Methylcitrate is a component of the 2-methylcitric acid (2-MCA) cycle that utilizes propionate as a source of carbon and energy in bacteria. Trisodium 2-methylcitrate may be used to study this pathway
Biochem/physiol Actions
MCA is a diagnostic marker metabolite which cumulates in body fluids of patients suffering from the following inherited metabolic diseases: propionic acidemia (PA), methylmalonic aciduris (MMA), holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency (HCSD)[1]. There MCA occurs as a mixture of (2S,3S)- and (2R,3S)-stereoisomers.
Packaging

Acta crystallographica. Section F, Structural biology and crystallization communications, 66(Pt 4), 467-470 (2010-04-13)
Analysis of the genomic sequences of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium has revealed the presence of several homologues of the well studied citrate synthase (CS). One of these homologues has been shown to code for 2-methylcitrate synthase (2-MCS) activity. 2-MCS

2-Methylcitrate was tested in vitro on enzymes which interact with citrate and isocitrate. It was found to inhibit citrate synthase, aconitase, the NAD+- and NADP+-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase. This inhibition was competitive in nature except in the case of aconitase, and

2-Methylcitric acid (2-MCA) cycle is one of the well studied pathways for the utilization of propionate as a source of carbon and energy in bacteria such as Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. 2-Methylcitrate synthase (2-MCS) catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate

Hi, To make a stock solution, I tried methanol first but it didn't disolve the compound, so I added same amount of DI water as the amount of methanol to the solution, the solution became clear. Do you think the compund still okay, just x2 diluted? 5
