Buccutite(TM) Peroxidase (HRP) Antibody Conjugation Kit *Optimized for Labeling 100 ug Protein*

Protein-protein conjugations are commonly performed with a bifunctional linker (such as the commonly used SMCC), having different reactivity on each end for linking two different proteins. One end of the crosslinker reacts (via NHS ester) with amines (-NH2) found in the amino acid lysine and N-terminus, and the other end reacts (via maleimide) with the thiol groups (-SH) found in the amino acid cysteine. However, SMCC-modified protein is extremely unstable and often self-reactive since proteins often contain both amine and thiol groups that cause significant amount of homo-crosslinking. In addition it is quite difficult and tedious to quantify the number of maleimide groups on a protein. ReadiLink(TM) Peroxidase (HRP) Antibody Conjugation Kit is designed for preparing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugates directly from proteins, peptides, and other ligands that contain a free amino group. The HRP provided in our kit has been pre-activated with our proprietary linker Buccutite(TM) FOL, and can be directly used for conjugation. The Buccutite(TM) FOL-activated HRP readily reacts with Buccutite(TM) MTA-containing molecules under extremely mild neutral conditions without any catalyst required. Compared to commonly used SMCC and other similar technologies, our Buccutite(TM) bioconjugation system is much more robust and easier to use. It enables faster and quantitative conjugation of biomolecules with higher efficiencies and yields.
