N-Ethylmaleimide
N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM) is a small molecule alkylating agent that covalently modifies cysteine residues. It is widely used in biochemical research as an inhibitor of cysteine proteases, deubiquitinating enzymes, and mitochondrial phosphate transport in both in vitro and cell-based studies.
