Phenylglyoxal monohydrate was used to modify pig muscle carbonic anhydraseIII and as a specific reagent for arginine groups. It was also used to prepare pyrrolinone and furan derivatives and as as a chemiluminescent reagent for the determination of purines.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
