Application Water-soluble condensing reagent for peptide synthesis, reagent used for coupling ligands to carriers in affinity chromatography. Biochem/physiol Actions N-Cyclohexyl-N′-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide (CMCT) selectively modifies/derivitizes all pseudouridine, thiouridine and 2-methylthio-6-isopentenyladenosine nucleosides for detection by methods such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. CMCT, a water-soluble condensing reagent for peptide synthesis, is used as a reagent for coupling ligands to carriers in affinity chromatography. |
