Thermo Fisher, 21334, EZ-Link™ Iodoacetyl-PEG2-Biotin Thermo Scientific™

EZ-Link™ Iodoacetyl-PEG2-Biotin Thermo Scientific™ Thermo Scientific EZ-Link Iodoacetyl-PEG2-Biotin is a mid-length, haloacetyl-activated, sulfhydryl-reactive biotinylation reagent that contains a 2-unit ethylene glycol in its spacer arm for increased water-solubility characteristics.
Features of EZ-Link Iodoacetyl-PEG2-Biotin:
•Protein labeling—biotinylate antibodies or other proteins for use in protein methods
•Thiol-reactive—reacts with sulfhydryls (-SH), such as the side-chain of cysteine (C)
•Iodoacetyl-activated—perform reactions in the dark at pH 7.
5 to 8.
5 in Tris or borate buffer
•Pegylated—spacer arm contains a hydrophilic, 2-unit, polyethylene glycol (PEG) group
•Enhances solubility—pegylation imparts water solubility to the biotinylated molecule, helping to prevent aggregation of biotinylated antibodies stored in solution
•Irreversible—forms permanent thioether bonds; spacer arm cannot be cleaved
•Solubility—can be dissolved directly in aqueous buffers for labeling reactions
•Medium length—spacer arm (total length added to target) is 24.
7 angstromsIodoacetyl-PEG2-Biotin enables simple and efficient biotin labeling of antibodies, cysteine-containing peptides and other thiol-containing molecules. The iodoacetyl group reacts with reduced thiols (sulfhydryl groups,—SH) at alkaline pH to form stable thioether bond. The hydrophilic, 2-unitpolyethylene glycol (PEG)spacer arm imparts water solubility that is transferred to the biotinylated molecule, thus reducing aggregation of labeled proteins stored in solution. The PEG segment adds length and flexibility to the spacer arm, minimizing steric hindrance involved with binding to avidin molecules.
We manufacture biotin reagents to ensure the highest possible overall product integrity, consistency and performance for the intended research applications.
Biotinylation reagentsdiffer in reactivity, length, solubility, cell permeability and cleavability. Threetypes of sulfhydryl-reactive compoundsare available: maleimido, iodoacetyl and pyridyldithiol. Iodoacetyl reagents specifically react with sulfhydryl groups (-SH) at pH 8.
3 to form permanent thioether bonds.
In proteins, sulfhydryls exist where there are cysteine (C) residues. Cystine disulfide bonds must be reduced to make sulfhydryl groups available for labeling. Hinge-region disulfide bridges of antibodies can be selectively reduced to make functional half-antibodies that can be labeled.
