General description
Hexylene glycol is commonly used as a solvent and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It helps in isolating chromosomes from the human cell line BALL-1.
Application
- pH regulatory divergent point for the selective bio-oxidation of primary diols during resting cell catalysis.: This study highlights the role of Hexylene Glycol in biocatalysis, emphasizing its application in enhancing the selective oxidation of primary diols, which is pivotal for developing efficient bio-based production processes (Hua et al., 2022).

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is a highly effective and widely used protein denaturant. We show that certain amphipathic cosolvents such as 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) can protect proteins from SDS denaturation, and in several cases can refold proteins from the SDS-denatured state.
