Application and Effect
Protein Labeling: MTS is often used as a labeling agent to attach tags, fluorophores, or other reactive compounds to proteins. This labeling allows for the visualization, tracking, and purification of proteins in biochemical studies. Cysteine Accessibility: MTS can be used to probe the accessibility of cysteine residues in proteins by selectively modifying only the exposed cysteine residues. This information aids in understanding protein folding and structure function relationships. Protein Cross-linking: MTS can mediate the cross-linking of nearby cysteine residues in proteins, resulting in the formation of disulfide bonds. This technique helps to study protein-protein interactions and protein conformational changes. Ion Channel Modification: MTS is often used to study the functional properties of ion channels by modifying specific cysteine residues involved in channel activation or gating. This allows researchers to investigate structure-function relationships and mechanisms of ion channel regulation.Product Packing:
