Diethylpyrocarbonate is an organic ester compound that can be used as a modification reagent for His and Tyr residues in proteins; a durable probe for structure cleavage in dsDNA, partially or fully reacts with Chemicalbook non-stacking bases; used as antibacterial Additives, ribonuclease inhibitors, histidine residue modifiers, and reagents for the conversion of imines to carbamates.
Diethyl pyrocarbonate can be used for RNA extraction in biological experiments.
It is an ester compound, which can be used as a modification reagent of histidine and tyrosine of diethyl pyrocarbonate protein, and also a chemical modifier of RNase. It reacts with the imidazole ring of histidine, the active group of RNase, and inhibits it. RNase activity.
