General description

Bromobimane, also called probe for thiols, is a fluorescent reagent activated upon a photolysis reaction. Bromobimane in solution reacts with small thiol groups (e.g., GSH) and with reactive protein thiol groups (e.g., hemoglobin). The reaction of Bromobimane with thiols is of second-order and dependent on pH. And, upon reacting with thiolate, it activates the water-soluble fluorescent product for detection.

Application

Bromobimane is used for the determination of thiols by the HPLC method. It is suitable as a pre-column derivatization agent for fluorometric determination of 2,3-dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonic acid and other dithiols. Bromobimane has been used as a fluorescent label in studying oligomycin-sensitive ATPase from beef heart mitochondria.

Features and Benefits

The benefits of using Bromobimane for the analysis of low molecular weight thiols are: Highly selective.
  • Rapid reactivity.
  • Ease of separation of derivatives by reverse HPLC.
  • Ability to penetrate cells.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

A highly sensitive and specific assay for Escherichia coli thioredoxin was developed using the thiol-specific reagent monobromobimane. Treatment of dithiothreitol-reduced thioredoxin with an excess of monobromobimane in Tris buffer (pH 8.0, 23 degrees C) for 30 min resulted in the

The increasing therapeutic use of dithiol metal binding agents, such as 2,3-dimercaptopropane-1-sulfonic acid (DMPS), has stimulated the need for a sensitive and selective method for their determination in biological fluids. A method has now been developed in which DMPS was

The light-dependent regulation of stromal enzymes by thioredoxin (Trx)-catalysed disulphide/dithiol exchange is known as a classical mechanism for control of chloroplast metabolism. Recent proteome studies show that Trx targets are present not only in the stroma but in all chloroplast
