Application

A heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent containing a sulfhydryl-specific group and a photo-active group. Typically, coupled initially by thioether to molecule containing free sulfhydryl buffered at pH 6.8 (6.5-7.0). Second bonding occurs during UV irradiation (250 nm) via diradical excited state. Benzophenones demonstrate greater specificity for C-H insertion and are more stable in water than analogous reagents. In general they are more efficient in attachment because they may be repeatedly irradiated; however, a more intense irradiation may be required. The benzophenone is not sensitive to reduction compared to analogous reagents.

Relatively weak interactions between galectins and their potential ligands can hinder identification of physiological lectin ligands using conventional methods such as affinity purification. We have employed a combination of cysteine mutagenesis with chemical crosslinking using a photoactivatable sulfhydryl reagent benzophenone-4-maleimide

Experimental conditions which permit the exchange of smooth muscle 20-kDa light chain into skeletal muscle myosin are described. The hybridization does not result in the regulation of actin-activated ATPase activity of the hybrid myosin by smooth light chain phosphorylation. Further

To investigate protein-protein interaction sites in the DNA mismatch repair system we developed a crosslinking/mass spectrometry technique employing a commercially available trifunctional crosslinker with a thiol-specific methanethiosulfonate group, a photoactivatable benzophenone moiety and a biotin affinity tag.

The interaction of pig plasma gelsolin (G) and actin (A) was examined by using photoreactive 4-maleimidobenzophenone-actin (BPM-actin) in which BPM was previously conjugated to Cys-374 of actin through the maleimide moiety. In the presence of micromolar [Ca2+], the major cross-linked
