Diethylmaleate is a compound that functions as a chemical modifier in experimental applications. It acts as a cross-linking agent, forming covalent bonds with thiol groups in proteins and peptides. This modification can be utilized to study the structure and function of proteins, as well as to investigate protein-protein interactions. Diethylmaleate′s mechanism of action involves the disruption of disulfide bonds, leading to conformational changes in proteins and altering their activity. Diethylmaleate can be used to manipulate the redox state of proteins and investigate the role of thiol groups in various biological processes. Diethylmaleate has been to study the effects of oxidative stress on cellular function, as it can induce changes in the redox status of cells. Its ability to modify thiol groups may be a useful for probing the role of these functional groups in biological systems.
