Application
1,10-Phenanthroline Hydrochloride Monohydrate is a versatile compound with multiple applications primarily due to its ability to chelate divalent metal ions. It serves as an effective inhibitor of zinc metalloenzymes, particularly JAMM-type isopeptidases (DUBs), by binding to the active site Zn2+. This property makes it valuable in the preparation of cell lysates to enrich ubiquitinated proteins that are sensitive to JAMM family DUBs. Additionally, it is frequently utilized as an analytical reagent for the colorimetric determination of iron, highlighting its importance in analytical chemistry. Presented as a white fine crystalline powder, this compound is indispensable in both biochemical and analytical contexts.
