BS(PEG)5 (PEGylated bis(sulfosuccinimidyl)suberate)

By contrast to typical PEG reagents that contain heterogeneous mixtures of different PEG chain lengths, this PEG reagent is a homogeneous compound of defined molecular weight and spacer arm length, providing greater precision in optimization and characterization of crosslinking applications. Homobifunctional crosslinkers containing N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters are often used for low-resolution 3-D studies of protein structure and protein interaction analysis.
