Biological Activity
Violuric acid is a redox mediator employed in the laccase system, specifically in the context of the violuric acid assay. This assay serves to verify and ensure the preservation of the high-redox potential characteristic of laccase throughout the process of directed evolution.
Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
Most small molecule inhibitors are not compatible with autoclaving (121 °C), which can cause thermal decomposition or loss of biological activity. For sterile cell-based experiments, filter-sterilize working solutions through a 0.2 µm membrane after dilution into aqueous buffer. Verify thermal stability in the DataSheet before applying any heat treatment.
mg/mL (milligrams per milliliter) and mM (millimolar = millimoles per liter) are two concentration units for the same solution. To convert: mM = (mg/mL × 1000) / MW (g/mol). For example, for a compound with MW = 350 g/mol: 1 mg/mL = 1000/350 = 2.86 mM. Use the molar concentration calculator on the TargetMol website for quick conversions.
Need this compound in a format that drops straight into your assay? We can tailor formulation, chemistry, and documentation so your results stay consistent across runs and re-orders.
- Format options: solid or pre-dissolved solution (choose solvent), target concentration, aliquots, light/moisture-protected packaging
- Chemistry options: free base/acid vs salt forms, hydrate/solvate preference, stereoisomer control (single enantiomer or racemate), close analogs
- Add-on labels & handles: D/¹³C/¹⁵N isotopes (LC-MS/internal standards), azide/alkyne or other functional handles for conjugation
- QC & documentation: standard COA or enhanced analytical pack (HPLC/LC-MS/NMR), chiral purity, residual solvents, water content (KF), method-specific specs
- Scale & continuity: mg to gram scale, bulk pricing, lot reservation, repeat-order continuity
