Applications

• Protein Analysis: Reduces disulfide bonds in proteins, aiding in structural studies.

• SDS-PAGE: Prepares protein samples by breaking disulfide linkages.

• Enzyme Activity: Maintains the active form of enzymes sensitive to oxidation.

• Cross-Linking Reactions: Breaks disulfide bridges in cross-linkers like N,N′-bis(acryloyl)cystamine.

Advantages Over Alternatives

• Less Toxic: DTT is less toxic and less pungent compared to 2-mercaptoethanol.

• Lower Concentration Required: Typically, a seven-fold lower concentration of DTT (100 mM) is needed than 2-mercaptoethanol (5% v/v, 700 mM).
