Thermo Scientific™ MM(PEG)12 Methyl-PEG-Maleimide Reagent

Thermo Scientific™ MM(PEG)12 Methyl-PEG-Maleimide Reagent

Thermo Scientific Pierce MM(PEG)12 is a methyl-terminated, polyethylene glycol compound (12 PEG units) activated with a maleimide group for covalent pegylation of sulfhydryls on proteins (e.g., cysteines) or assay surfaces.

Features

• Maleimide-activated for efficient PEGylation of sulfhydryl groups at pH 6.5-7.5; reaction of maleimide group results in formation of stable, irreversible thioether bonds
• Fully characterized PEGylation reagents with defined PEG chain lengths; molecules of discrete molecular weight for consistency of performance in protein-modification applications
• Provided with 12 ethylene glycol units, enabling modification procedures to be optimized for a specific application while retaining all the benefits associated with protein PEGylation
• PEG spacer provides unique advantages, including increased stability, reduced tendency toward aggregation and reduced immunogenicity
• Easy-to-follow instructions increase the likelihood of a successful outcome
