Thermo Scientific Pierce Maleimide-Activated Streptavidin conjugate include streptavidin in a purified form, activated for crosslinking to sulfhydryl groups containing molecules.

• Provided as a lyophilized powder containing sodium citrate
• Facilitates conjugation of Streptavidin to proteins

Maleimide-activated Streptavidin is designed to facilitate the conjugation of the Streptavidin to proteins, peptides and ligands that contain sulfhydryl (-SH) groups. The reactive maleimide group that has been added to the Streptavidin allows conjugation reactions to be carried out in the pH range 6.5-7.5, creating a stable thio-ether link.
