개요IPTG (also known as Isopropyl-β-D-Thiogalactopyranoside) is a molecular biology reagent that functions as an inducer of galactosidase activity by binding to and inhibiting the repressor. It is a molecular mimic of allolactose, a lactose metabolite that triggers transcription of the lac operon, and it is therefore used to induce protein expression where the gene is under the control of the lac operator. IPTG cannot be hydrolyzed or broken down by the E. coli therefore the concentration remains constant during cell replication. IPTG is often used at a final concentration ranging from 0.5-1.0 mM. X-Gal is often used with IPTG since it provides an easy visual method to monitor whether protein expression has occurred. X-Gal as the name implies contains a galactose group that once metabolized causes a bright blue color change.

용도Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside is used as a reagent in molecular biology. It is used as an effective β-galactosidase inducer of protein expression where the gene is under the control of the lac operator. It is used with 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside to identify the non-recombinant plasmid in cloning experiments by blue-white screen methodology.

a synthetic method of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside. The steps are as follows:Step 1: Dissolve β-D-galactose pentaacetate in any organic solvent of methylene chloride, chloroform or 1,2-dichloroethane, and add Lewis acid (boron trifluoride ether, (Aluminum trichloride, zinc chloride) catalyst and potassium ethylxanthate or sodium ethylxanthate are reacted to obtain tetraacetylgalactose ethylxanthate after treatment.Step 2: Dissolve tetraacetyl galactose ethyl xanthate, 2-bromopropane and sodium carbonate in methanol or ethanol at a temperature of 20°C to 80°C and react for 4-6 hours to obtain isopropyl group after treatment Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside.
