Dithioerythritol ( DTE) is a containing derived from the corresponding 4-carbon . It is an of (DTT). The molecular formula for DTE is C4H10O2S2.


Chemical properties
DTE is a solid soluble in water and alcohols.
(1987). 9780121820435, Academic Press.


Applications
Like DTT, DTE makes an excellent , which can be used for reduction of . The reduction potential of DTE is the same as for DTT, about –0.331 mV. The p Ka values of the groups of DTE are 9.0 and 9.9, which is higher than the corresponding values for DTT (9.3 and 9.5). Since reduction of disulfide bonds requires thiolate ( thiol), DTE is less efficient at lower pH compared to DTT.

Reduction with DTE is slower than with DTT. This is presumably because the orientation of the OH groups in its cyclic form (oxidized form) is less stable due to greater than their orientation in the disulfide-bonded form of DTT. In the disulfide-bonded form of DTT, these are trans to each other, whereas they are cis to each other in DTE.
