About this document
N-Iodosuccinimide as Thyroid Model by Azmi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes a study that compares the reactivity of N-iodosuccinimide and iodine (I2) with various goitrogenic compounds. The researchers found that while I2 only reacts with some classes of goitrogens, N-iodosuccinimide reacts with all classes tested. This suggests N-iodosuccinimide may serve as a better model than I2 for the "active iodine" species in the thyroid gland that iodinates tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin. Spectrophotometric analysis showed the yellow color produced by reactions w
