KMUH is a long, maleimide-and-hydrazide crosslinker for conjugating sulfhydryls (cysteines) to carbonyls (aldehyde or ketones, such as those formed by oxidation of glycoprotein carbohydrates).
Features of KMUH:
• Reactive groups:maleimide andhydrazide • Reactive towards: sulfhydryl groups and carbonyl (aldehyde) groups • Long (19.0A), sulfhydryl-to-aldehyde crosslinker with simple aliphatic spacer arm (noncleavable) • Maleimide group reacts with sulfhydryl groups to form stable thioether linkages • Hydrazide group conjugates to oxidized sugars of glycoproteins and carbohydrates • Usesodium meta-periodate to oxidize glycosylation (e.g., sialic acid) to reactive aldehyde groups • Use withEDC to conjugate primary amine of hydrazide group to carboxyl groups
