Application
Betaine monohydrate:
- is suitable for use to improve the PCR amplification of GC-rich DNA sequences by reducing the formation of secondary structure caused by GC-rich regions
- is suitable for use as a component of PCR reaction mixture
- is suitable for use in a study to identify yield enhancers of PCR
- has been used to study nitrogen balance and nutrient digestibility in piglets fed diets deficient in methionine and low in compatible osmolytes
- has also been used to compare the effects of pressure on three layered hydrates
Biochem/physiol Actions
End-product of oxidative metabolism of choline, betaine is a general methyl donor, in particular in a minor pathway of methionine biosynthesis. It is used to treat homocystinuria, which is a defect in the major pathway of methionine biosynthesis.
