Application

1-Thioglycerol has been used in a study to assess the manipulation of aqueous growth of CdTe nanocrystals. It has also been used in a study that investigated the effect of surface attachment on ligand binding.

General description

1-Thioglycerol stimulates the synthesis of porphyrin in aerobically growing Escherichia coli. It is an inhibitor of glycerol kinase activity in vitro and in situ.

Preparation Note

This product is miscible in ethanol (1 ml/ml, 50%, v/v), yielding a clear, colorless solution. It is also miscible in water (0.1 M).

Hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning is a powerful strategy to control folding in non-natural polymers/oligomers. In this contribution, we present a novel strategy for the preparation of alternating hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterned non-natural peptide foldamers. This strategy relies on the post-modification of a reactive peptide
