2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic acid (NTCB) is a highly reactive reagent that transfers its cyano group rapidly to a nucleophilic thiolate. 2-Nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic acid has been proposed as a reagent for converting thiol groups in proteins into their S-cyano derivatives[1][2]. | [Biological Activity]
2-nitro-5-thiocyanatobenzoic acid (NTCB) is commonly used to cyanylate and cleave proteins at cysteine residues. | [References]
