描述 | N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM), a reagent that alkylates free sulfhydryl groups, is a cysteine protease inhibitor[2]. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) was shown to be a highly effective inhibitor of the following coupled mitochondrial processes: oxidative phosphorylation, ATP-32Pi exchange, Pi-induced light scattering and configurational changes, State III respiration, valinomycin-induced translocation of potassium with Pi as the anion, and calcium accumulation in presence of Pi. Also NEM, even et levels 2-3 times greater than those required to inhibit oxidative phosphorylation in intact mitochondria, did not inhibit coupled processes in submitochondrial particles[3]. When D. salina thylakoid membranes are treated with N-ethylmaleimide, both photophosphorylation and the inducible CF1 ATPase activity are partially (approx. 60%) inhibited. Treatment of the purified, latent, D. salina CF1 with low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide also results in the partial (approx. 60%) inhibition of the inducible ATPase activity (IC50 approximately 50 mM). N-ethylmaleimide-induced inhibition of the ATPase activity of either membrane-bound or solubilized CF1 is partially reversed by either prolonged incubation at low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide or short incubation times at high concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide[4]. *该产品中的马来酰亚胺基团在碱性水溶液中会发生水解形成开环的马来酸酰胺衍生物,会影响生物学活性,例如无法和巯基形成共价硫醚键,影响和生物大分子的连接,建议现配现用,避免在水溶液中长期保存,可在中性或弱酸性水溶液中低温保存,反应时控制弱酸环境[5][6]。 |
