Oxygen-containing compounds include alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, and carboxylic acids and derivatives. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a range of oxygen-containing compounds and derivatives suitable for various research applications.

A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long, unbranched aliphatic chain. The aliphatic chain may be either saturated or unsaturated. Chains of even-numbered length predominate in nature. In biology, fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides or phospholipids.

Structure search Chem dex search Element search, Biochemical compounds, including amino acids, nucleotides, vitamins, and other organic and inorganic chemicals, can be found in biological systems. Biochemical reagents are salts, detergents, and other molecules used to in assays and investigations of...

Coumarins are small molecular weight, water soluble, UV-excitable, blue fluorescent dyes (emission range ~410 to 470 nm). They can be either cell permeable or cell impermeant depending on their structure; the more charged moieties that are on the dye he less cell permeable the molecule is.

Altered metabolism is a key area of cancer research and metabolomics and has become an important application in its own right—cancer metabolism on a system-wide scale. There have been numerous discoveries and publications focused on understanding the mechanisms of carcinogenesis and proliferation,...

Amino acids are the building blocks of peptides and proteins. All amino acids contain an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side chain that varies for each amino acid. The side chains differ in polarity and pKa and are important to both protein structure and function.

(See a list of the products featured in this article.) Metabolic reprogramming has emerged as an important indicator of cancer cells [1]. Even in the presence of oxygen, cancer cells tend to metabolize glucose into pyruvate and then lactate by aerobic glycolysis (also known as the Warburg effect)...

Structure search Chem dex search Element search, Organic compounds are carbon-based chemicals and are essential to life. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms in strong, covalent bonds to form these compounds.

Nucleosides are the structural subunit of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. A nucleoside is composed of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and is either a pyrimidine (cytosine, thymine, or uracil) or a purine (adenine or guanine).

To ensure reproducible results and continuity in research and biomedical processes, today’s scientists are faced with the task of genetically stabilizing replicable materials such as living cells and organisms, and ensuring sub-cellular components such as nucleic acids and proteins are preserved...

Protein labeling reagents are reactive dyes that attach to a specific functional group (i.e., amine or thiol) on a target biomolecule allowing for its subsequent detection or purification. Use the Protein Labeling Reagents Selection Tool to find the best reactive dye for your application or learn...

In 1980, the Japanese Nobel prize-winning chemist Ryoji Noyori reported that BINAP (2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl) complexed with ruthenium [BINAP-Ru(II)] catalyzed the asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-(acylamino)acrylic acids or esters to give the corresponding amino acid derivatives...

Our application specific columns utilize novel and unique chemistries to provide superior resolution and ease of use for your key pharmaceutical, environmental, and food/beverage applications. These columns were developed for specialized workflows and can effectively perform complex separations of a...

Heterocyclic compounds, or heterocycles, are cyclic compounds that have atoms of at least two different elements as members of the ring structure.Organic heterocycles contain one or more carbon atoms and, based on their electronic structure, are classified as saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic.

Structure search Chem dex search Element search, Bases are molecules or ions that accept a proton or hydrogen ion (Brønsted-Lowry base) or alternatively can donate an electron pair (Lewis base). Physically, bases are the opposite of acids in that they exhibit a high pH, taste bitter, and will react...
