General description

2,2′-Dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) is an aromatic disulphide.

Application

2,2′-Dithiobis(5-nitropyridine) was employed:
  • as cysteine-activating reagent to study the NMR of G protein-coupled receptors
  • in the deprotection assays for protected selenocysteine-containing peptides
  • for deprotecting p-methoxybenzyl groups and acetamidomethyl groups from the side-chains of cysteine and selenocysteine
  • to remove the p-methoxybenzyl protecting group from cysteine and selenocysteine side-chains
