DTE Reducing Agent: Frequently Asked Questions AG Scientific is a leading supplier of DTE reducing agent. Here we review some of the most frequently asked questions about this useful chemical: What is DTE? DTE (formally 1,4-Dithioerythritol) is an epimer of DTT (dithiothreitol). This sugar is derived from the corresponding 4-carbon monosaccharide erythrose and contains sulfur. It is an epimer of...

Dithiothreitol (DTT), also known as Cleland's reagent, is a small-molecule redox reagent. Its oxidized form is a disulfide-bonded 6-membered ring. DTT has an epimeric ('sister') compound, dithioerythritol (DTE).

TCEP. HCl has the advantages of being odorless, a more powerful reducing agent, an irreversible reducing agent, more hydrophilic, and more resistant to oxidation in air. Near complete reduction of disulfide bonds. DTT is a protective agent for reducing –S-S TO SH groups. Used as a strong reducing agent for proteins and enzymes.
