General description

Lithium acetate dihydrate is one of the commercially available forms of lithium acetate. Lithium acetate is a common salt with variety of applications such as, product for efficient yeast transformation, drug formulation and therapy, lithium-6 CP/MAS standard, solvent and catalyst. In addition, it is also used as a buffer for gel electrophoresis of DNA and RNA, additive or catalyst for textiles and polymer production and as a precursor material for batteries and ferromagnetic nanoparticles.

Application

Lithium acetate dihydrate has been used for yeast transformation.

Yeast Transformation Introduction

Transformation introduces exogenous DNA into cells, a fundamental genetic modification process demonstrated in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Introduction to Yeast Transformation

Transformation is the process by which exogenous DNA is introduced into a cell, resulting in a heritable change or genetic modification. This was first reported in Streptococcus pneumoniae by Griffith in 1928. Transforming principle of DNA was demonstrated by Avery et al. in 1944.
