Diamide is of use as a thiol oxidizing agent. Diamide has been used to titrate protein glutathiolation to discriminate from other oxidative protein modifications. Diamide is classified as a monoazo compound and acts as a sulfhydryl reagent that facilitates the oxidation of sulfhydryl groups into disulfide form. This compound exhibits radiation-sensitizing properties, particularly in anoxic bacterial and mammalian cells.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from H fnerH fner, AK. Et al. (PubMed 26327594) found that Diamide, a reagent used as a thiol oxidizing agent, prevented the translocation of human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) WT whereas it enhanced the translocation of the fourfold cysteine mutant in monocytes and HEK293 cells, expressing human 5-LO and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein. -SCBT Publication Review
