General description
Sulfosuccinimidyl-4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (Sulfo-SMCC) is a water-soluble, non-cleavable and membrane impermeable crosslinker containing an amine-reactive N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS ester) and a sulfhydryl-reactive maleimide group. NHS esters react with primary amines at pH 7-9 to form stable amide bonds. Maleimides react with sulfhydryl groups at pH 6.5-7.5 to form stable thioether bonds. The maleimide groups of Sulfo-SMCC and SMCC are unusually stable up to pH 7.5 because of the cyclohexane bridge in the spacer arm. Due to the presence of a hydrophilic sulfonyl moiety, Sulfo-SMCC is soluble up to ~10 mM in water and many commonly used buffers, thus avoiding the use of organic solvents which may perturb the protein structure.
Applications:
- enzyme labeling of antibodies – both enzyme and antibody specificity can be preserved
- create specific bioconjugates via one- or two-step crosslinking reactions
- create sulfhydryl-reactive, maleimide-activated carrier proteins for coupling haptens
