6-Maleimidohexanoic acid can be used as a protein crosslinker or sulfhydryl (-SH) to carboxylic acid (-COOH) modification reagent. As a protein modifier. 6-Maleimidohexanoic acid is used to modify sulfhydryl groups at pH 6.5-7.5 to terminal carboxyl groups. 6-Maleimidohexanoic acid protein modification makes -COOH groups for subsequent coupling via EDC crosslinking. As a protein crosslinker, 6-Maleimidohexanoic acid can be used for the preparation of protein conjugates. The maleimide and carboxyl reactive groups of 6-Maleimidohexanoic acid crosslinker are reactive toward sulfhydryls and hydrazides/amines, respectively.
