Application

Photoactive, heterobifunctional cross-linking reagant. Typically, initial reaction couples via ester to primary amine by amide bond formation in the pH range 6.5-8.5. Second bonding occurs during UV irradiation (250 nm) via reactive nitrene. The latter bonding is rapid and non-specific.

Other Notes

Note that reducing agents such as thiols may reduce the azide to amine and should be avoided. Initial manipulations and coupling should be performed under reduced light.
