Isopentenyl pyrophosphate, triammonium salt, [4-14C]-, 50 µCi (1.85 MBq)

10 µCi quantities of [4-¹⁴C]-Isopentenyl Pyrophosphate, Triammonium Salt are available for your research. Application of [¹⁴C]IPP can be found in: isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase deficiency in cyanobacteria, effect of different allylic diphosphates on the initiation of new rubber molecules, purification, properties and heteromeric association of type-1 and type-2 FPPSs, activation and inhibition of rubber transferases by metal cofactors and pyrophosphate substrates, etc.

Special Information :
Caution is urged in the handling of isopentenyl pyrophosphate, triammonium salt, [4-¹⁴C]- as it has been found to be relatively unstable. Basic conditions (pH> 7.5) should be maintained at all times to prevent hydrolysis. Lyophilization or rotary evaporation is the procedure recommended for solvent removal or concentration. The compound should not be allowed to remain in the dry state for longer than is absolutely necessary. If the compound is spotted for paper or thin layer chromatography, it should not be allowed to dry and chromatogram development should be initiated immediately after spotting.

Conversion to other salts: The triammonium salt may be converted to that of another cation by passing it through a column of exchange resin in the form of the desired cation. A 1-2mL quantity of thoroughly washed resin is generally satisfactory. Necessary precautions should be exercised to minimize any breakdown from occurring during this procedure.
