Chemical agents used to modify the amino acid side chains of proteins in order to alter their native charges, block or expose reactive binding sites, inactivate functional groups, and change functional groups to create targets for crosslinking and labeling.
Reduce protein and peptide disulfide bonds using this thiol-free, pure, crystalline tris (2-carboxyethyl) phosphine hydrochloride, TCEP (CAS 5961-85-3).
Enable controlled antibody fragmentation, especially of mouse IgG1, with this sulfhydryl-specific ficin protease immobilized onto beaded agarose resin.
A three-branched, polyethylene glycol compound (3 times 12 PEG units) activated as an NHS ester for covalent PEGylation of primary amines on proteins or assay surfaces.
CA(PEG)n: pegylated amino acids of the form carboxy-PEG-amine; with 4 to 24 polyethylene glycol units; for surface- and molecule-pegylation applications.
