Reducing Proteins or Peptides with Dithiothreitol (DTT) 1. Make a 1M diothreitol DTT stock solution in water, best to make fresh. (Try not to inhale the DTT.) 2. Add DTT to the protein or peptide solution (which is in a buffer) to a final concentration of 1mM to 10 mM DTT. Incubate for 10 min. to 30 min. The reduction may work slightly better if incubating at higher temperature, such as at 37 degrees C or at 56 degrees C. However, room temperature or ice should work too.
