Analysis Note
product decomposes at 111-115°C, residual melts at 160-164°C
Application
A homobifunctional, cleavable cross-linking reagent. Typically, reacted with primary amines in the pH range 7.0-10.0 to form amidine bonds.
Caution
The reagant is readily hydrolyzed at neutral pH. Avoid use of reducing agents during coupling reactions.
Other Notes
Cleavable bifunctional reagent used for cross-linking of membrane proteins and hemoglobin1; For the preparation of an activated solid support2; Cross-linking of a cytochrome oxidase complex3
Note that the amidine linkage preserves original primary amine positive charge. The disulfide linkage is cleavable by mild reduction. Incorporates an eight atom linker.
