Biotium offers a variety of methanethiosulfonate (MTS) thiol modifying reagents and cross-linkers, as well as charged thiosulfate (TS) reagents for selectively modifying cell surface thiols.
In addition, we offer thiol-reactive probes for specialized applications. Eosin-5-maleimide is an thiol-reactive photosensitizer that can be used for photoconversion of electron-rich compounds like DAB or fluorescent dyes into electron-dense materials for high-resolution electron microscopy studies. It is also a good fluorescence acceptor for fluorescein, dansyl, and coumarin dyes for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). CPM (7-diethylamino-3-(4′-maleimidylphenyl)-4-methylcoumarin) is probably the most widely used blue fluorescent thiol-reactive dye. This maleimide derivative of coumarin is essentially nonfluorescent until it reacts with thiols, making it possible to quantify thiols without a separation step. ABD-F is a useful reagent for the sensitive and specific detection of thiols both by TLC and HPLC. When combined with a reducing agent such as tributylphosphine, it can also be used for the determination of disulfides in peptides and proteins. INA (5-iodonaphthyl-1-azide) is a lipophilic photoreactive probe, which has been used to selectively label membrane-embedded cysteine residues of proteins. N-(1,10-Phenanthrolin-5-yl)iodoacetamide has been used to label thiols to confer the metal-binding properties of the phenanthroline chelator. For example, completing of the chelator with copper can be used to selectively cleave RNA or DNA in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
