Bis-MAL-dPEG®11, product number 10397, is a medium-length, homobifunctional, crosslinking reagent that links two molecules (e.g., peptides, proteins) together via the thiol-maleimide reaction (also known as the thiol-Michael addition). The ends of the molecule are both functionalized with maleimidopropionate groups. The two reactive ends are separated by a single molecular weight, discrete polyethylene glycol (dPEG®) spacer.

The thiol-maleimide reaction, a type of click chemistry reaction, is an extremely 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 visit 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 disperse 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, among many others, studying cell internalization of crosslinked proteins; developing FRET immunoassays; and anchoring biomolecules to surfaces.
