    GlossaryDithiothreitol

    chemical reducing agent that breaks disulfide bonds in proteins

    Dithiothreitol (DTT) is a chemical compound used in biochemistry and molecular biology to break disulfide bonds in proteins, which helps to denature them and maintain their reduced state. This is particularly useful in experiments where maintaining the protein's structure is crucial, such as in electrophoresis or protein folding studies.
