Thiolating reagent for primary amines; thiol can be deprotected under mild conditions. Typically, couples initially to a molecule containing primary amine by amide bond buffered at pH 7.5. Deprotection may be accomplished with 0.05 M hydroxylamine at neutral pH. Useful for preparation of enzyme immunoconjugates and hapten carrier molecule conjugates.
Other Notes
Note that the ester couples very efficiently to primary amines compared to other thiolating reagents. In addition, this reagent will neutralize original amine positive charge.

Over the last decade, scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), have played an important role in a variety of biophysical research efforts. This straightforward technique has the capability to measure forces down to a few
The mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) chelator has been shown to stably complex technetium-99m (99mTc) for nuclear imaging and radiorhenium (186/188Re) for tumor radiation therapy studies. The bifunctional N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester of MAG3 with S-acetyl protection (N-hydroxysuccinimidyl S-acetylmercaptoacetyltriglycinate (NHS-MAG3)) has been successfully used to
Immuno-enzymosomes are tumor-specific immunoliposomes bearing enzymes on their surface. These enzymes are capable of converting relatively nontoxic prodrugs into active cytostatic agents. The enzyme beta-glucuronidase (GUS)4 was coupled to the external surface of immunoliposomes directed against ovarian carcinoma cells. This

The two coupling agents SPDP (N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate) and SATA (N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthioacetate) were compared in their efficiency and feasibility to couple monoclonal antibodies (Abs) via thioether linkage to liposomes functionalized by various lipophilic maleimide compounds like N-(3-maleimidopropionyl)-N2-palmitoyl-L-lysine methyl ester (MP-PL), N-(3-maleimidopropionyl)phosphatidylethanolamide (MP-PE), N6-(6-maleimidocaproyl)-N2-palmitoyl-L-lysine
