  Phasing - Tantalum Cluster Derivatization Kit
 View Basket   

  
Application
Heavy atom derivatization of biological macromolecules for isomorphous and/or anomalous phasing methods.

Kit Contents
6 pre-weighted solid aliquots of hexatantalum tetradecabromide at 1 mg.


      
The Tantalum Bromide Cluster, manufactured by Proteros biostructures GmbH, is utilized for the preparation of heavy-atom derivatives for structure determination of biological macromolecules by X-ray analysis.

The electron-rich compound can be employed in single and multiple isomorphous replacement (SIR and MIR) experiments in order to induce measurable changes of the diffraction intensities required for phase calculation.
Furthermore, the Tantalum Bromide Cluster contains two strong anomalous scatterers suitable for multiple anomalous diffraction (MAD) experiments.
Tantalum Bromide Clusters have been successfully employed in several structural studies because of their high electron-density, solubility in aqueous solutions and stability over a wide pH range [1-4].
