The chemical (2S, 3S)-1,4-Bis-sulfanylbutane-2,3-diol (DTT, CAS No. 3483-12-3) was obtained from Sigma; it is a strong reductant with the chemical formula C4H10O2S2 and MW of 154.25 g/mol. Its reducibility is largely due to the conformational stability after oxidation (containing disulfide bond). In this experiment, 3.09 g DTT powder was completely dissolved in 20 mL 0.01 M sodium acetate to obtain 1 M DTT stock solution, which was packed and stored at −20 °C before use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
