5-Amino-1MQ is a low-molecular-weight quinolinium compound used in biochemical research on nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. Unlike a peptide, it exists as a cation from the outset: the listed formula and molecular weight (C10H11N2+, 159.21 g/mol) describe this cation, and counter-ion information is batch-specific.

That has a practical consequence for MS identity: no in-source protonation step is needed to generate a charged species, so a single well-defined m/z signal is expected in positive mode. On reversed-phase HPLC the small aromatic structure elutes early and gives a narrow, well-resolved peak, in contrast to the broader retention behaviour typical of multi-residue peptide chains.

Purity (≥99% by specification) and identity are verified for each batch; the certificate of analysis, listing appearance, CAS number 685079-15-6 and the parameters above, is available for the product on request.
