1,4-dithiothreitol is commonly known as Cleland′s reagent. It confers protection to thiol groups and reduces disulfide bonds in peptides and proteins. It reduces disulfide bonds to sulfhydryl group and is commonly used in receptor studies, to determine the functional importance of disulfide bonds during receptor occupancy and functionality. It also maintains monothiols completely in the reduced state.
