Diethyl pyrocarbonate is a potent, orally active, non-specific chemical inhibitor of RNase. It has been found useful in vitro as an agent relatively specific for binding to imidazole of histidine. It inhibits central chemosensitivity in rabbits and can modify Ser, Thr, His, and Tyr residues. It can also be used for modeling purposes.
