Description
SPDP NHS ester is a heterobifunctional crosslinker capable of reacting with both amine and sulfhydryl groups. It allows for the covalent linking of biomolecules, such as proteins and peptides. This is valuable in drug delivery systems, where it can be used to attach therapeutic agents to targeting molecules. It also finds application in the development of immunoassays and protein modification studies.
Applications
SPDP (succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate) NHS ester is commonly used for conjugating proteins and antibodies to a variety of ligands, allowing for the formation of stable thioether bonds. This is essential in the fields of bioconjugation, diagnostics, and therapeutic antibody development.
