SKU: CM1389
MSE PRO™ 3-Maleimidopropionic acid, ≥99.0% Purity
MSE PRO™ 3-Maleimidopropionic acid is primarily employed as a crosslinking agent for the modification and conjugation of biomolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and antibodies. The maleimide group selectively reacts with free sulfhydryl groups present in cysteine residues, forming a stable thioether linkage. This property allows for site-specific labeling, immobilization, or conjugation of biomolecules with various probes, fluorophores, or other functional groups. It is a valuable tool in proteomics, bioconjugation, and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, enabling the creation of bioconjugates with enhanced properties or functionalities.
