| Application: |
Betaine monohydrate:
• is suitable for use to improve the PCR amplification of GC-rich DNA sequences by reducing the formation of secondary structure caused by GC-rich regions
• is suitable for use as a component of PCR reaction mixture
• is suitable for use in a study to identify yield enhancers of PCR
• has been used to study nitrogen balance and nutrient digestibility in piglets fed diets deficient in methionine and low in compatible osmolytes
• has also been used to compare the effects of pressure on three layered hydrates

| Biochem/physiol Actions: |
End-product of oxidative metabolism of choline, betaine is a general methyl donor, in particular in a minor pathway of methionine biosynthesis. It is used to treat homocystinuria, which is a defect in the major pathway of methionine biosynthesis. |
