DL-Dithiothreitol (DTT) (Cat No.: I010711) is a small-molecule reducing agent widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology. It contains two thiol groups that break disulfide bonds in proteins, maintaining them in a reduced state. This makes DTT essential in protein denaturation, enzyme assays, and sample preparation for SDS-PAGE. Its strong reducing power helps preserve enzyme activity and prevent protein aggregation. DTT is also used to study redox-sensitive biological processes. It must be handled carefully due to its sensitivity to air and limited stability in solution.
