Homobifunctional Crosslinkers
Homobifunctional crosslinkers have two reactive groups that are identical in structure and have the same reaction specificity. NHS and Sulfo-NHS homobifunctional compounds are some of the more common homobifunctional protein crosslinkers available.
Crosslinking with homobifunctional crosslinkers is an ideal strategy for locking two proteins in place with a covalent bond. These crosslinked proteins can be analyzed by numerous techniques. Typically, covalent bonds formed by chemical crosslinkers are resistant to protease cleavage, allowing subsequent enzymatic digestion after protein crosslinking. This technique is commonly utilized for protein mapping experiments, where mass spectrometry is performed to detect interacting peptide regions between two proteins or a folding region of a single protein.

DTSSP Crosslinker
3,3'-Dithiobis(sulfosuccinimidyl propionate), commonly known as DTSSP, is a reducible amine reactive protein crosslinking reagent. DTSSP is water soluble, and does not permeate the cell membrane. |

EGS Crosslinker
Ethylene glycol bis(succininic acid) N-hydroxysuccinimide ester) is a cleavable, homobifuntional crosslinker that contains two NHS functional groups. The NHS functional groups of EGS are selectively reactive towards primary amines at pH 7 to 9. EGS is cleavable with hydroxylamine at pH 8.5. EGS is often used as a cleavable option when disulfide containing crosslinkers, such as DSP (CovaChem 13304) and DTSSP (CovaChem 13303) are not an option due to the desire to retain disulfide networks of a protein intact. |

Sulfo-EGS Crosslinker
Sulfo-EGS crosslinker is a water soluble homobifunctional crosslinker used to crosslink protein molecules. Sulfo-EGS is primarily reactive towards amine moieties, such as those found on lysine residues in peptides and proteins. |
