Aminopentyl Iodoacetamide is a small molecule compound that is composed of several functional groups. The aminopentyl group is a type of amine that contains a chain of five carbon atoms, which can be used to link the compound to other molecules. The iodoacetamide group is a functional group that contains both a halogen atom (iodine) and a reactive thiol group. This group is commonly used in biochemistry to modify cysteine residues in proteins, which can help to study protein structure and function.
Aminopentyl Iodoacetamide is often used in proteomics research to label and modify proteins for analysis. The compound is typically added to a solution containing proteins of interest, where it reacts with cysteine residues in the proteins to form covalent bonds. This modification can help to stabilize proteins, improve their solubility, and make them more amenable to analysis by techniques such as mass spectrometry.
