Thermo Scientific™ BS(PEG)9

Description

• Thermo Scientific™ Pierce BS(PEG)n Crosslinkers include BS(PEG)5 and BS(PEG)9, which are bis-succinimide ester-activated PEG compounds for crosslinking between primary amines in proteins and other molecules
• BS(PEG)9 is a bis-succinimide ester-activated PEG compound used for crosslinking between primary amines (–NH2) in proteins and other molecules
• The N -hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS) groups at either end of the PEG9 spacer react specifically and efficiently with lysine and N-terminal amino groups at pH 7-9 to form stable amide bonds
• Features of BS(PEG)9: Reactive groups: NHS ester (both ends) Reactive towards: amino groups (primary amines) NHS esters react with –NH2 groups at pH 7-9, forming stable amide bonds Water-soluble; compare to non-pegylated BS3 (also soluble) (Cat
