Description
Isobutyryl coenzyme A, lithium salt is a coenzyme A thioester of isobutyric acid offered as the lithium salt with a minimum content of 95%. Identified by CAS number 103404-95-1, it has the empirical formula C₂₅H₃₉N₇O₁₇P₃S · xLi and a molar mass of 837,62 g/mol. A 10 mg plastic pack from manufacturer Carl ROTH provides this biochemical coenzyme for laboratory work with branched-chain acyl-CoA species. Pack size, formula and molar mass are stated so that solutions can be prepared from the 10 mg quantity with straightforward stoichiometry. As the lithium salt, variable lithium content is indicated by xLi in the empirical formula, while the coenzyme core remains C₂₅H₃₉N₇O₁₇P₃S. Isobutyryl-CoA bears a four-carbon branched acyl group on coenzyme A, corresponding to the activated form of isobutyrate used in studies of branched-chain acyl-CoA metabolism. CAS number, empirical formula, molar mass and minimum 95% content identify the reagent for weighing, solution preparation and laboratory documentation. The 10 mg plastic presentation suits chemical and biochemical laboratory applications that require isobutyryl coenzyme A as the lithium salt.
