Description
5-Nitro-DL-tryptophan is a nitro-substituted tryptophan derivative offered at a minimum purity of 95 % for biochemical research and synthetic chemistry. Identified by CAS number 6525-46-8 and the empirical formula C₁₁H₁₁N₃O₄, the compound has a molar mass of 249,23 g/mol. Manufacturer data list a flash point of 277,2 °C and a boiling point of 534,7 °C, giving useful handling context for laboratory workflows. The material is Investigators use 5-nitro-DL-tryptophan when studying tryptophan metabolism, enzyme–substrate interactions and the preparation of specialised peptide or heterocyclic building blocks. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this biochemical supports reproducible experimental design through its clearly stated identity and physicochemical parameters. Organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry and bioorganic laboratories benefit from the defined grade and compact pack for controlled addition to reaction schemes and screening panels. Documented molar mass and thermal properties also assist inventory control and routine laboratory risk assessment.

Questions about 5-Nitro-DL-tryptophan, min. 95 %, 1 g
What is this article?
5-Nitro-DL-tryptophan, min. 95 %, 1 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Click chemistry, bioconjugation & synthesis reagents, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
Click and bioconjugation reagents join two molecules under mild conditions, often an azide to an alkyne, or an NHS ester to an amine. The linker length and the reactive group are the specification. They are small bottles of a reactive compound, and moisture often ruins them.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
