Bis-MAL-dPEG®3, product number 10215, is a short, homobifunctional, crosslinking reagent that links two molecules (e.g., peptides, proteins) together via the thiol-maleimide reaction (also known as the thiol-Michael addition). Maleimidopropionate groups functionalize each end of the molecule. A short, single molecular weight, discrete polyethylene glycol (dPEG®) spacer separates the two end groups.

The thiol-maleimide reaction, a type of click chemistry reaction, is a 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. For details about the maleimide-thiol reaction, please see our Maleimide Reaction Chemistry page. 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 dispersed polymer but is instead a single compound. For more information about Quanta BioDesign’s dPEG® technology, please click this link. Applications for this product include mapping which proteins in a complex are close together; determining ligand-receptor binding relationships; and construction of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), among many others.
