Description

DTE (Dithioerythritol) is a sulfur containing sugar derived from the corresponding 4-carbon monosaccharide erythrose; is an epimer of dithiothreitol(DTT).


Dithioerythritol is the meso-diastereomer of 1,4-dimercaptobutane-2,3-diol; a sulfur-containing sugar derived from the monosaccharide erythrose; and an epimer of dithiothreitol. It has a role as a reducing agent.|A compound that, along with its isomer, Cleland's reagent (DITHIOTHREITOL), is used for the protection of sulfhydryl groups against oxidation to disulfides and for the reduction of disulfides to sulfhydryl groups.
