Application

It has been used in a study to assess thiol-sensitive genes and promoters of Escherichia coli.

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).

The infantile form of glycerol kinase (GK) deficiency (McKusick No. 30703) (1) is characterized by adrenal cortical insufficiency, adrenal hypoplasia and developmental delay. The underlying biochemical mechanism(s) responsible for the observed clinical presentations are undetermined. Pursuant to our examination of

The effect of 1-thioglycerol on the expression of genes of Escherichia coli was investigated. Pulse-labeled proteins from aerobically growing, 1-thioglycerol-treated E. coli were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, and their radioactivities were compared with those of identical proteins from nontreated

Mu dX(lac) insertion mutants of Escherichia coli CSH50 in which the expression of the lacZ gene was sensitive to the presence of exogenous 1-thioglycerol or dithiothreitol were isolated. Both stimulatory and inhibitory mutants were found. The existence of several thiol-sensitive

Thiol-modified surfaces are chemically well defined and suited for surface biological model experiments and biomaterials research. 3-Mercapto-1,2-propanediol (mercaptoglycerol, MG), immobilized on gold, spontaneously binds immunoglobulins from human serum and activates the complement system. The surface-bound complement factors were detected by

Since the realization of a complement activation capacity by artificial surfaces upon contact with blood, a common belief has evolved that charged nucleophilic surface groups such as amine (-NH2) and hydroxyl (-OH) react with and eventually bind to the internal
