Methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) is a potent alkylating agent that reacts with sulfhydryl groups in proteins and other biomolecules. It is commonly used in biochemical research to study the roles of cysteine residues in protein structure and function. MMTS is typically synthesized by reacting methanethiol with sulfuryl chloride in the presence of a base. MMTS can inhibit the activity of enzymes, alter protein conformation, and disrupt protein-protein interactions. It has been used to study the mechanisms of enzyme catalysis, the folding of proteins, and the assembly of protein complexes. MMTS is also used as a probe for detecting and quantifying cysteine residues in proteins.'
