General description

2,2′-Dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) is an aromatic disulphide.

Application

2,2′-Dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) was employed:
  • as cysteine-activating reagent to study the NMR of G protein-coupled receptors
  • in the deprotection assays for protected selenocysteine-containing peptides
  • for deprotecting p-methoxybenzyl groups and acetamidomethyl groups from the side-chains of cysteine and selenocysteine
  • to remove the p-methoxybenzyl protecting group from cysteine and selenocysteine side-chains

We present here a simple method for deprotecting p-methoxybenzyl groups and acetamidomethyl groups from the side-chains of cysteine and selenocysteine. This method uses the highly elecrophilic, aromatic disulfides 2,2'-dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) (DTNP) and 2,2'-dithiodipyridine (DTP) dissolved in TFA to effect removal of

The effects of sulfhydryl (SH) reagents on the L-type Ca current (ICa) were studied in frog ventricular myocytes using the whole-cell patch-clamp method. Methanethiosulfonate ethylammonium (MTSEA+) was found to enter the cell through the membrane and cause a remarkable increase

The whole-cell patch-clamp technique has been applied to elucidate the effects of H2O2 and the SH-group reagent 2,2'-dithio-bis(5-nitropyridine) (DTBNP) on Ca2+ currents of mouse pancreatic B-cells. We also tested the effect of DTBNP on the whole-cell K+ ATP current. DTBNP
