Application

  • Aldrithiol-4 was used as cosubstrate in a study to develop highly specific inhibitors against mannose-binding lectin-associated serine proteases by in vitro evolution technology:phage display.
  • It was used to study the O2 equilibria of recombinant human neuroglobin and cytoglobin measured under close to physiological conditions.
  • It was used to modify gold surfaces for protein studies.

The spectroelectrochemistry of camphor-bound cytochrome P450cam (P450cam) using gold electrodes is described. The electrodes were modified with either 4,4(')-dithiodipyridin or sodium dithionite. Electrolysis of P450cam was carried out when the enzyme was in solution, while at the same time UV-visible

The active site cysteine of human O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (hAGT), Cys145, was shown to be highly reactive with model electrophiles unrelated to substrates, including 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. The high reactivity suggested that the Cys145 thiolate anion might be stable at neutral pH. The
