4-Mercaptomethyl Dipicolinic Acid is a Dipicolinic acid tag for rigid lanthanide tagging of proteins and paramagnetic NMR Spectroscopy. The tag, 4-mercaptomethyl-dipicolinic acid, binds lanthanide ions with nanomolar affinity, is readily attached to proteins via a disulfide bond, and avoids the problems of diastereomer formation associated with most of the conventional lanthanide tags. 4-Mercaptomethyl Dipicolinic Acid (MDPA) is a sulfur-containing ligand renowned for its distinctive characteristics, garnering significant attention in scientific research. Functioning as a chelating agent, MDPA effectively binds to metal ions, rendering it indispensable across diverse applications, including analytical chemistry and biomedical research.
