Sigma-Aldrich 3 3-Dithiodipropionic Aci

3,3′-Dithiodipropionic acid forms monolayers on a polycrystalline gold electrode through a self-assembly procedure to form gold 3,3′-dithiodipropionic acid self-assembled monolayer modified electrode[1]. It is the precursor substrate in the synthesis of 3-mercaptopropionic acid-containing polythioesters[2]. It is added as primary carbon supplement in the culture medium of novel betaproteobacterium, strain DPN7[2].

3,3′-Dithiodipropionic acid was used as capping agent for introducing charge on gold nanoparticles surfaces[3].
