Application

N-Hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt is a water-soluble sulfonated analog of N-hydroxysuccinimide. It can undergo a coupling reaction with carboxylic acids in the presence of carbodiimides such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide(EDC) to form hydrophilic N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide active esters. These esters are useful in protein cross-linking experiments.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

Sulfo-NHS is used for preparing hydrophilic active esters, e.g. for crosslinking agents

N-Hydroxysulfosuccinimide esters are reactive functional groups employed in a variety of protein modification reagents, especially cross-linking reagents. For these compounds, hydrolysis is the most important reaction competing for reaction of the esters with nucleophilic groups in proteins. We have employed
