Description

General description

The kinetics of inhibition on mushroom tyrosinase by 2-mercaptoimidazole has been investigated. The pH dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of biologically and industrially significant, 2-mercaptoimidazole molecule at 1.0×10^-10M concentration have been investigated.

Application

2-Mercaptoimidazole has been used in chemical modification of silica gel for selective separation of mercury(II) from an aqueous solution.
