General description

Bromopyruvic acid is an affinity label for cysteine residues†. It acts as cross-linker between nucleic acids and proteins. Kinetics of inactivation of pancreatic ribonuclease A by bromopyruvic acid has been investigated.
may contain traces of dibromopyruvic acid

Application

Bromopyruvic acid was used in the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-2-carboxylic acids.

Aerobic Glycolysis and the Warburg Effect

We presents an article about the Warburg effect, and how it is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate observed in tumor cells, even in the presence of normal levels of oxygen. Otto Heinrich Warburg demonstrated in 1924 that cancer cells show an increased dependence on glycolysis to meet their energy needs, regardless of whether they were well-oxygenated or not.
