General description

Dimethyl pimelimidate dihydrochloride is a homobifunctional cross-linking reagent used in crosslinking, protein interaction and protein modification. It typically reacts with primary amines in the pH range 7.0-10.0 to form amidine bonds.

Application

Dimethyl pimelimidate dihydrochloride has been used to develop a technique for isolating Enterocytozoon bieneusi spores directly from human stool samples with a high degree of purity, which opens up new approaches for studying this parasite.

Caution

The reagent is readily hydrolyzed at neutral pH.

Other Notes

2024 CiteAb Award Winner for Supplier Succeeding in Parkinson′s Research
Note that the amidine linkage preserves original primary amine positive charge. Incorporates a seven atom linker.

The cross-linking of the two components of lactose synthetase, alpha-lactalbumin and a galactosyltransferase, with dimethylpimelimidate was examined. The extent of the cross-linking at pH 8.1 was found to be dependent upon the presence of substrates or inhibitors for the galactosyltransferase.

To further our understanding of immunopeptidomics, improved tools are needed to identify peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I). Many existing tools are limited by their reliance upon chemical affinity data, which is less biologically relevant than sampling
