Handling Instructions Technical Support

Duroquinone (Tetramethylquinone) is a model compound of amphiphilic quinone, which can be used as an oxidative-reductive activity probe. Duroquinone can be easily reduced by biological systems to hydrogen peroxide (DQH₂) or semi-quinone free radicals (DQ•⁻). Duroquinone can freely pass through the cell membrane, facilitating the study of the electron transfer process inside and outside the cells. Duroquinone can be used to investigate the relationship between metabolism in the pulmonary circulation and endothelial cells.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
