Product Details Related Products
Product Name 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol (TFE), ≥99%
Catalog No. ATR-SDS-0005
Description A fluorinated alcohol solvent with strong hydrogen-bond donating properties, used to induce and stabilize secondary structure in peptides and proteins for NMR spectroscopy and circular dichroism studies.
Intended Use Inducing alpha-helical conformation in peptides for structural biology studies; dissolving hydrophobic peptides and membrane proteins; solvent component in protein aggregation studies.
Principle / Technology TFE strengthens intra-chain hydrogen bonds in peptides while weakening hydrophobic interactions, shifting the conformational equilibrium toward alpha-helical structures.
Detection Method GC purity, circular dichroism validation of peptide helicity induction
Sample Type Synthetic peptides, membrane proteins, amyloidogenic peptides, intrinsically disordered proteins
Performance Range / Specifications Purity ≥99%; induces >60% alpha-helical content in model helical peptides at 50% v/v
Sensitivity / LOD N/A
Specificity N/A
Reaction Conditions / Protocol Prepare aqueous TFE mixtures at desired concentration; typical range 20–80% TFE; incubate peptide for 30 minutes before CD measurement.
Components / Formulation 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol, anhydrous, in amber glass
Storage Conditions 15–30°C, protect from light and moisture
Shelf Life 24 months
Package Specifications 25 mL, 100 mL
Product Form Liquid
Quality Control GC purity, water content, UV absorbance, NMR spectrum
Key Features Standard for peptide helicity studies; anhydrous; packaged in amber glass for light protection; NMR grade available
