Biological Activity

[Description]:

Diethyl pyrocarbonate is a potent, non-specific chemical inhibitor of RNase. Diethyl pyrocarbonate has been useful in vitro as an agent relatively specific for binding to imidazole of histidine. Diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibits central chemosensitivity in rabbits. Diethyl pyrocarbonate can modify Ser, Thr, His and Tyr residues[1].
