Sodium formate-13C,d1

Sodium formate-13C,d1 is a stable isotope-labeled form of sodium formate, serving as a biochemical assay reagent. It acts as a deprotonating agent that facilitates the deprotonation of ligands, such as 2-methylimidazole, at elevated temperatures. Additionally, sodium formate-13C,d1 plays a crucial role in the catalytic oxidation of methane to methanol by methane monooxygenase (sMMO) by providing essential reducing power, while also inhibiting the further oxidation of methanol. This compound is suitable for various metabolic studies and reaction mechanism investigations in chemical research.
