Also known under its synonyms of DTT & Cleland's Reagent, this protein modifier is used as a protecting agent in chemical synthesis.

DTT is an exceptionally strong reducing agent, due to its high conformational propensity to form a six-membered ring with an internal disulfide bond when oxidised. DTT is commonly used to reduce the disulfide bonds of protein and peptides. As an oxidising agent, no mixed-disulfide species are developed.
