Application
Iodoacetamide has been used:
- in protein digestion for proteomic analysis
- to alkylate protein samples
- in the denaturation of cow′s milk allergens, β-lactoglobulin (BLG) and α-lactalbumin (ALA)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Iodoacetamide (IAA) is used to inhibit glycolysis due to its ability to irreversibly inhibit the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). IAA is used to investigate the role of cysteine residues in enzyme catalysis and the brain cell transport process. It can react with low molecular weight thiol compounds like mercaptoethanol and glutathione. IAN may also block enzymes like bromelain, cathepsin C, clostripain, and carboxypeptidase P.
Iodoacetamide acts as an alkylating reagent for cysteine residues in peptide sequencing. It is an irreversible inhibitor of enzymes with cysteine at the active site. It reacts much more slowly with histidine residues, but that activity is responsible for inhibiting ribonuclease.
