Amino acids and proteins have an integral relationship. Amino acids are traditionally defined as the fundamental building blocks of proteins, forming peptide bonds to build various types of them. This linear structure is called the primary structure of proteins, and usually forms α-helices and β-structures as their secondary structures. In turn, they can fold in several ways to form their...
Amino acids are organic or carbon-based compounds that have two functional groups: an amino group and a carboxylate group. The amino group is slightly basic, while the carboxylate group is acidic. See the illustration below for an example. The R group or side chain mainly determines the amino acid’s chemical and physical properties. It can be of various sizes, shapes,...
Sugars are a type of carbohydrate, which means they contain carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. They’re soluble in water and, of course, sweet-tasting. Various types of sugar are found in our daily diet, from the table sugar we use in our morning brew to the sugar in fruits and chocolate we like to snack on. These sugars all have similar repeating...
We need vitamins and minerals for various purposes. They are essential micronutrients that act as coenzymes, cofactors, macromolecule components, electrolytes, and structural components of tissues such as bones. Micronutrients help control the breakdown of nutrients and the precise release of energy by our cells for various metabolic processes.The human body can synthesise some vitamins on its own, like vitamin...
Minerals are inorganic substances that are typically found in food. They’re mainly used by the body as cofactors and as electrolytes. Some have an important role in maintaining our bones and teeth, while others are essential in carrying vital substances throughout the body. Iron, for instance, is the central atom of haemoglobin that carries oxygen.Minerals are classified as micronutrients,...
Minerals are micronutrients that are found in small amounts in dietary sources, particularly fruits and vegetables. They have a wide range of functions, acting as electrolytes, inorganic cofactors of enzymes, and as materials to support healthy bones and teeth, hormone synthesis, muscle contractions, and haemoglobin synthesis.What Are Minerals Needed For?Minerals are inorganic micronutrients needed by the human body for...
Aldehydes are primarily derivatives of alcohols. Like many other chemicals, aldehydes are identified based on their functional group. They are organic compounds that have a carbonyl group attached to a hydrocarbon group (i.e. an alkyl substituent) and hydrogen atom. This is structurally and chemically similar to ketones, so it’s not surprising that some of the properties of aldehydes are...
Environmental sustainability isn’t a mere fad or legal obligation, but a logical, moral, and practical approach to doing business on a large scale. It’s all about balancing productivity, based on a company’s need to be profitable, with the environmental impact of its operations. In essence, sustainability is about weighing the long-term effects of economic and technological progress against the availability...

Always have excellent service from yourselves from ordering product to delivery.
Kevin Wallcroft
A particularly easy to deal with chemical company. I telephoned, got all the advice needed with excellent friendly service. My chemicals arrived the very next day. Very happy!
Joanne King
Fast efficient service, was kept updated on order throughout. Can not fault ReAgent sales and delivery processes.

Their customer services were very helpful, sending us all the lab reports we needed, before we even bought from them. Then, once we ordered the product came very quickly.
