The analysis reagent is used for the measurement of protein, enzyme, and plum molecular weight by disc electrophoresis in the analysis of nitrogenase cells. determination of molecular weight of protein, enzyme and nucleic acid by disc electrophoresis in nitrogenase cell analysis |
| production method | is derived from the reaction of acrylonitrile with dimethylamine. Acrylonitrile is first added to the dimethylamine solution under ice-cooling, then heated, and the fraction at 171-173 ° C. Is collected by absorption and fractional distillation to obtain the product. Raw material consumption quota: acrylonitrile 670kg/t, dimethylamine (40%)1500kg/t. The preparation method is to put acrylonitrile into the reaction kettle, start stirring and jacket water, inject dimethylamine gas to a specified amount at an appropriate temperature, and sample and analyze the product after 1H of reaction. Reaction equation: CH2 = CHCN +(CH3)2NH →(CH3)2NCH2CH2CN |
