Sulfo-SMCC (CAS: 92921-24-9) is a water-soluble, heterobifunctional crosslinker used in bioconjugation. It has two reactive groups: a sulfo-NHS ester that targets primary amines and a maleimide group that reacts with thiols, enabling stable covalent bonding in aqueous environments.
Key Features:
- Water-Soluble: No need for organic solvents.
- Specific Reactivity:
- Sulfo-NHS ester reacts with primary amines (pH 7–9).
- Maleimide reacts with thiols (pH 6.5–7.5).
- Spacer Length: Cyclohexane-based linker (~6.4 Å), providing flexibility and reduced steric hindrance.
Sulfo-SMCC Applications:
- Protein and Antibody Conjugation:
- Creation of antibody-enzyme conjugates for diagnostics and therapeutics.
- Biomolecular Crosslinking:
- Linking proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules.
- Surface Functionalization:
- Immobilization of biomolecules on surfaces for biosensor and assay development.
Handling & Storage:
- Storage: Store at 4°C, protected from moisture.
- Stability: Unstable in aqueous solutions; prepare fresh before use.
Sulfo-SMCC is an efficient, reliable crosslinker, enabling precise bioconjugation in research and biomedical applications.
