Thermo Scientific Pierce SMPH is an amine-to-sulfhydryl crosslinker that contains NHS-ester and maleimide reactive groups at opposite ends of a long spacer arm (14.2 angstroms).

Features of SMPH:

• Reactive groups: NHS ester and maleimide
• Reactive towards: amino and sulfhydryl groups
• Slightly longer and more soluble than SMPB
• NHS ester reacts with primary amines at pH 7-9, forming a stable amide bond
• Maleimide reacts with -SH groups at pH 6.5-7.5, forming a stable thioether bond
• Non-cleavable
• Water-insoluble (dissolve first in DMF or DMSO)
