Description
Malonate (malonic acid) is a competitive inhibitor of Succinate dehydrogenase (Complex II).
Abbreviation: Mna

Inhibitor
Application in HRR
Mna: Malonic acid ( CH2(COOH)2); Sigma M 1296, 5 g, store at R.T.; FW = 104.06
Recommendation: Prepare fresh everyday!
Preparation of 2 M stock solution (dissolved in H20):
- 1) weigh 20.8 mg of Malonic acid directly into a Eppendorf tube of appropriate volume (final volume = 100 Β΅l)
- 2) dissolve in 20 Β΅l H2O
- 3) add 70 Β΅l 5 N KOH and check pH
- 4) titrate small amounts (2 Β΅l) of 5 N KOH until you reach a pH of 6.0 (approx. 4 titration steps). A pH of 7.0 would be ideal, however the pH jumps from pH 6.0 to pH 10.0 with only very little amounts of excess KOH.
- 5) add H2O to a final volume of 100 Β΅l
