Folic acid, also known as folate, is a B vitamin that can be found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. It can also be chemically synthesized. Folate, a watersoluble vitamin, helps the body form red blood cells and aids in the formation of genetic material within every body cell. This product exhibits metal binding properties. Hematopoietic vitamin present, free or combined with one or more additional molecules of L-(+)-glutamic acid, in liver, kidney, mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses.
Folic acid (Vitamin B9 and folate) is essential to numerous bodily functions. The human body needs folate to synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and methylate DNA as well as to act as a cofactor in certain biological reactions. It is especially important in aiding rapid cell division and growth, such as in infancy and pregnancy.
Folic acid (FA) and dihydrofolic acid (FAH2) are substrates of dihydrofolate reductase(s) which reduce them to tetrahydrofolate (THF), which in turn supports ‘one carbon’ transfer. Tetrahydrofolates are required for de novo synthesis of purines, thymidylic acid and various amino acids and for post-translational methylation (epigenetics).
Very slightly soluble in cold water (0.0016 mg/mL at 25 °C), soluble to about 1% in boiling water. Slightly soluble in methanol, appreciably less soluble in ethanol and butanol. Insoluble in acetone, chloroform, ether, benzene. Relatively soluble in acetic acid, phenol, pyridine, solutions of alkali hydroxides and carbonates. Soluble in hot dilute HCl and H2SO4.

Applications:
Urea is used for the denaturation of proteins and as a mild solubilization agent for insoluble or denatured proteins. Useful for renaturing proteins from samples already denatured with 6 M guanidine chloride such as inclusion bodies and in the extraction of the mitochondrial complex. It is commonly used to solubilize and denature proteins for denaturing isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional electrophoresis and in acetic acid-urea PAGE gels. May be used with guanidine hydrochloride and dithiothreitrol (DTT) in the refolding of denatured proteins into their native or active form. Urea is used in cell or tissue culture media to increase the osmolality. Urea has also been used as fertilizer because of the easy availability of nitrogen; in animal feeds; it is reacted with aldehydes to make resins and plastics; condensed with malonic ester to form barbituric acid; used in the paper industry to soften cellulose.
Biochem/physiol Actions:
Urea has been shown to act as an aldosterone antagonist in the development of peanut agglutinin binding in cultured embryonic renal collecting duct epithelial cells. Urea is the principal end product of nitrogen metabolism in most mammals, formed by the enzymatic reactions of the Kreb's cycle.
Typical Working Concentration:
The use of 2 g/L urea in the culture of Kluyveromyces marxianus to produce a thermostable extracellular lipase has been described. Urea is typically used at a concentration of 8 M for protein denaturation or solubilization. A final concentration of 5 M urea is commonly used in molecular biology for sequencing gels. To prevent carbamylation, do not heat urea containing buffers above 37 °C

Agarose is a natural polysaccharide isolated from agar or agar-bearing marine algae. Its physical and chemical properties are particularly suited for use as a gel medium for diffusion and electrokinetic movement of biomolecules. Agarose is essentially biologically inert and forms relatively clear, transparent gels. Agarose based gels offer several advantages: High gel strength permits use of low concentrations. The macroporous nature of the gels allows rapid diffusion of high molecular weight molecules. Agarose is Non-toxic. Agarose gels are thermally reversible facilitating sample recovery. Staining and destaining may be done rapidly with minimal background. Because agarose forms macroporous gels that are electrically nonionic, it is an excellent medium for Isoelectric Focusing (IEF). A selection of different formulated agaroses with specific qualities for unique applications are available from MP.
Multipurpose Agarose is a versatile high gel strength agarose, especially designed for a wide range of molecular biology techniques. It is used for resolution of fragments over a large size range from 200 bp up to 50 kb by conventional electrophoresis. It is suitable for use in pulsed field gel electrophoresis and for blotting assays.
High gel strength agarose, especially designed for a wide range DNA. Versatile – separate fragments from 200 bp up to 50 kb by conventional electrophoresis. Concentrations between 0.4% and 6%. Multipurpose Agarose features the highest gel strength available, allowing 0.4 - 0.5% agarose gels. Significantly decreases electrophoresis times. Improves separation of very large fragments. Dissolves easily in a microwave.

Applications
Guanidine hydrochloride can be used as the first step in refolding proteins or enzymes into their active form. Urea and dithiothreitol (DTT) may also be necessary. Also used in the isolation of RNA. It is a strong chaotropic agent useful for the denaturation and subsequent refolding of protein, it can solubilize insoluble or denatured proteins such as inclusion bodies and be used for the recovery of periplasmic proteins. This can be used as the first step in refolding proteins or enzymes into their active form. Urea and dithiothreitol (DTT) may also be necessary. Also used in the isolation of RNA.
Product Description
The crystal structure of Guanidine hydrochloride consists of a network of guanidinium cations and chloride anions linked by N–H•••Cl hydrogen bonds,it is a strong chaotropic agent.Guanidine HCl may agglomerate upon storage. It may appear as a free-flowing crystalline powder, a freeflowing powder with solid material dispersed throughout, or a solid. The quality of the product does not appear to be affected and solutions prepared from the free-flowing and lumpy guanidine HCl appear identical

This is an ultrapure NAD, chromatographically purified to remove trace inhibitors.
β-NAD, a pyridine nucleotide and biologically active form of nicotinic acid, is a coenzyme necessary for the catalytic reaction of certain enzymes. It occurs in living cells primarily in the oxidized state. Serves as a coenzyme of the dehydrogenases, especially in the dehydrogenation of primary and secondary alcohols. NAD usually acts as a hydrogen acceptor, forming NADH which then serves as a hydrogen donor in the respiratory chain.
Many metabolites and enzymes of biological interest are present in tissues at low concentrations. With the use of β-NAD as a catalyst intermediate and several enzymes in a multistep system, known as enzyme cycling, much greater sensitivity for detection of these components is achieved. The reduced form, β-NADH, is fluorescent whereas β-NAD is not. This difference in fluorescence provides a sensitive fluorescent measurement of the oxidized or reduced pyridine nucleotides at concentrations down to 10-7 M.
Electron acceptor. β-NAD is a carrier for hydride ion, forming b-NADH. Hydride ion is enzymatically removed from a substrate molecule by the action of dehydrogenases such as malic dehydrogenase and lactic dehydrogenase. Such enzymes catalyze the reversible transfer of a hydride ion from malate or lactate to b-NAD to form the reduced product, b-NADH. Unlike b-NAD which has no absorbance at 340 nm, b-NADH absorbs at 340 nm (EmM = 6.22). The increase in absorbance at 340 nm with the formation of b-NADH is the basis for measurement of activity of many enzymes.
