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.

The SecA molecular nanomachine in bacteria uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to drive post-translational secretion of preproteins through the SecYEG translocon. Cytosolic SecA exists in a dimeric, "closed" state with relatively low ATPase activity. After binding to the translocon, SecA

We have employed a combination of cysteine mutagenesis and chemical crosslinking using a photoactivatable sulfhydryl reagent, benzophenone-4-maleimide, to obtain a covalent complex between human galectin-1 and a model glycoprotein ligand, asialofetuin. We previously obtained a crosslinked product when Lys(28) of

We have used in vitro mutagenesis to synthesize in Escherichia coli a recombinant rabbit skeletal troponin-C (designated as TnC57) in which Cys-98 was replaced with leucine, and Ala-57 in the C-helix of the N-terminal domain was replaced with cysteine. TnC57

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.

Radionuclide molecular imaging of cancer-specific targets is a promising method to identify patients for targeted antibody therapy. Radiolabeled full-length antibodies however suffer from slow clearance, resulting in high background radiation. To overcome this problem, a pretargeting system based on complementary
