Product Description
TCEP HCl (Tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine HCl) is a non-thiol reducing agent that is more stable than other chemical reducing agents and produces faster SS reduction reactions. TCEP HCl is a trialkylphosphine that selectively reduces protein breakdown without changing its properties or interacting with thiol directing agents in the reaction mixture. TCEP HCl is also a extensively usedreducing agent in DNA/AuNP chemistry.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The introduction of TCEP hydrochloride presents a potential substitute for the widely used DTT in vitro NF-κB-DNA binding processes. This can be achieved through the use of a 32P-labelled κB oligonucleotide and recombinant p50 protein. In binding experiments, DTT increases NF-κB-DNA binding at doses ranging from 0.25 to 2.6 mM. Nevertheless, only at Hg2+ concentrations higher than 100 μM can suppression of NF-κB binding occur in the presence of 0.25 mM DTT, and the outcomes vary greatly. On the other hand, at doses ranging from 0.25 to 6 mM, TCEP hydrochloride enhances NF-κB-DNA binding in a dose-dependent manner. Hg2+ inhibits NF-κB-DNA binding in binding assays at concentrations as low as 20 μM when even 6 mM TCEP hydrochloride is present[1]. Phosphate buffer is used to dissolve the human lactoferrin (hLF) peptide to a concentration of 0.1 mm. By adding a 30-fold molar excess of TCEP hydrochloride and then incubating for two hours at 37 °C, the disulfide linkages are reduced[2].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
