Transformation Reagent

Article about Transforming Reactive

Transforming reagents are a class of drugs that have a negative effect on the cell membrane, leading to its destruction and death. These drugs are relatively new to medical science and practice, but are already successfully used in various fields of medicine. In this article we will consider the main characteristics of transforming reagents, their interaction with cells, and also discuss their use in medical practice.

Definition and structure of substances

Transformant reagents are a class of chemical compounds or complexes of organic substances that are actively used in laboratory diagnostics and medicine to study the physiological and biochemical properties of cells. These substances can be used either in pure form or in combination with other receptor antagonist compounds. They exert their effect by changing the functions of membrane pumps, proteases and other proteins that are involved in the transport of molecules across the cell membrane. Various classes of transforming reagents have been identified and characterized through numerous studies conducted in recent decades. Some of the best known among them include detergents such as SDS, Tween, Polysterol oxides, lactams, lipotropins and many others.

Classification of transforming reagents

Depending on the type of action, transforming reagents are divided into several classes: detergents (such as SDS and Tween), satellite proteins, polypeptides, and brominated substances such as bromophenols and bromoisylantiphones. Detergents and some other types of transforming reagents are discussed in more detail below.

Detergents

Detergents are a group of compounds that have the ability of hydrophobic moieties to bind to hydrophilic areas of the membrane surface, thereby destroying its structural integrity and function. The most common detergents are SDS (sodium dodecyl
