Chemical Structure
BCA
Synonym(s): Disodium bicinchoninate
- CAS No.: 979-88-4
- Formula:C20H10N2Na2O4
- Molecular Weight:388.29
IUPAC Name: sodium [2,2'-biquinoline]-4,4'-dicarboxylate
InChIKey: AUPXFICLXPLHBB-UHFFFAOYSA-L
SMILES: O=C(O[Na])C1=CC(C2=NC3=C(C=CC=C3)C(C(O[Na])=O)=C2)=NC4=C1C=CC=C4
Biological Activity: BCA is a chelating agent targeting CuI. BCA forms a water-soluble complex with CuI at a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio, which not only inhibits its oxidation and disproportionation reactions, but also mediates the CuI-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry reaction to achieve bioconjugation of fluorophores or biotin with functionalized proteins. BCA chelates Cu+ from proteins that reduce Cu2+, forming a purple compound detectable by colorimetry, and thus is used to determine the total protein concentration in solution. BCA is a potential small-molecule candidate for AHAS inhibitors[1][2][3][4].
