Bis-MAL-dPEG®11, product number 10397, is a medium-length, homobifunctional, crosslinking reagent that links two molecules (e.g., peptides, proteins) together via the thiol-maleimide reaction (also known as the thiol-Michael addition). The ends of the molecule are both functionalized with maleimidopropionate groups. The two reactive ends are separated by a single molecular weight, discrete polyethylene glycol (dPEG®) spacer.
The thiol-maleimide reaction, a type of click chemistry reaction, is an extremely popular way to conjugate molecules. The maleimide functional group rapidly reacts with sulfhydryl groups, and the reaction is chemoselective for sulfhydryls in the pH range of 6.5 – 7.5.
The polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer between the two maleimide groups is a single molecular weight compound with a discrete chain length (thus the tradename dPEG®). This product is not made from a disperse polymer but is instead a single compound. Applications for this product include, among many others, studying cell internalization of crosslinked proteins; developing FRET immunoassays; and anchoring biomolecules to surfaces.

| Storage and handling | -20°C; Always let come to room temperature before opening; be careful to limit exposure to moisture and restore under an inert atmosphere; stock solutions can be prepared with dry solvent and kept for several days (freeze when not in use). dPEG® pegylation compounds are generally hygroscopic and should be treated as such. This will be less noticeable with liquids, but the solids will become tacky and difficult to manipulate, if care is not taken to minimize air exposure. |
