what is crosslinking?
Crosslinking is the process of chemically joining two or more molecules by a covalent bond. Crosslinking reagents
contain reactive ends to specific functional groups (primary amines, sulfhydryls, etc.) on proteins or other molecules.
The availability of several chemical groups in proteins and peptides make them targets for conjugation and for study
using crosslinking methods. Crosslinkers also are commonly used to modify nucleic acids, drugs and solid surfaces.
The same chemistry is applied to amino acid and nucleic acid surface modification and labeling. This area of chemistry
is known as bioconjugation and includes crosslinking, immobilization, surface modification and labeling of biomolecules.
Crosslinking and modification reagents can be described by their chemical reactivity (page 2), molecular properties
(page 10) or by their applications (page 14).
First, select a crosslinker with the functional groups to bind your biomolecules of interest.

(R) represents a labeling reagent or one end of a crosslinker having the NHS ester reactive
group; (P) represents a protein or other molecule that contains the target functional group (i.e.,
primary amine).
Hydrolysis of the NHS ester competes with the primary amine reaction. The
rate of hydrolysis increases with buffer pH and contributes to less efficient
crosslinking in less concentrated protein solutions. The half-life of hydrolysis
for NHS ester compounds is 4 to 5 hours at pH 7.0 and 0C. This half-life
decreases to 10 minutes at pH 8.6 and 4C. The extent of NHS ester hydrolysis
in aqueous solutions free of primary amines can be measured at 260 to
280nm, because the NHS byproduct absorbs in that range.
Sulfo-NHS esters are identical to NHS esters except that they contain a sulfonate
(SO3) group on the N-hydroxysuccinimide ring. This charged group has no
effect on the reaction chemistry, but it does tend to increase the water solubility
of crosslinkers containing them. In addition, the charged group prevents sulfoNHS crosslinkers from permeating cell membranes, enabling them to be used
for cell surface crosslinking methods.
Imidoesters
NH2+

chemical reactivity
of crosslinkers and modification reagents
Because the resulting amidine bond is protonated, the crosslink has a positive
charge at physiological pH, much like the primary amine which it replaced. For
this reason, imidoester crosslinkers have been used to study protein structure
and molecular associations in membranes and to immobilize proteins onto solidphase supports while preserving the isoelectric point (pI) of the native protein.
Although imidoesters are still used in certain procedures, the amidine bonds
formed are reversible at high pH. Therefore, the more stable and efficient NHS
ester crosslinkers have steadily replaced them in most applications.

EDC crosslinking is most efficient in acidic (pH 4.5) conditions and must be
performed in buffers devoid of extraneous carboxyls and amines. MES buffer
(4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid) is a suitable carbodiimide reaction buffer.
Phosphate buffers and neutral pH (up to 7.2) conditions are compatible with the
reaction chemistry, but with lower efficiency. Increasing the amount of EDC in a
reaction solution can compensate for the reduced efficiency.
N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) or its water-soluble analog (sulfo-NHS) is often
included in EDC coupling protocols to improve efficiency or create dry-stable
(amine-reactive) intermediates (Figure 6). EDC couples NHS to carboxyls,
forming an NHS ester that is considerably more stable than the O-acylisourea
intermediate while allowing for efficient conjugation to primary amines at
physiologic pH.

Sulfhydryls (SH) exist in the side chain of cysteine (Cys, C). Often, as part of a
proteins secondary or tertiary structure, cysteines are joined together between
their side chains via disulfide bonds (SS). These must be reduced to
sulfhydryls to make them available for crosslinking by most types of reactive
groups. Sulfhydryls are reactive towards maleimides, haloacetyls and pyridyl
disulfides.
Maleimides
Maleimide-activated crosslinkers and labeling reagents react
specifically with sulfhydryl groups (SH) at near neutral

R
conditions (pH 6.5-7.5) to form stable thioether linkages.
Disulfide bonds in protein structures must be reduced to free
Maleimide
thiols (sulfhydryls) to react with maleimide reagents.
Extraneous thiols (e.g., from most reducing agents) must be excluded from
maleimide reaction buffers because they will compete for coupling sites.
O
The maleimide group reacts specifically with sulfhydryl groups when the pH
of the reaction mixture is between pH 6.5 and 7.5, resulting in the formation
of a stable thioether linkage that is not reversible (Figure 7). In more alkaline
conditions (pH >8.5), the reaction favors primary amines and also increases
the rate of hydrolysis of the maleimide group to a non-reactive maleamic acid.
Maleimides do not react with tyrosines, histidines or methionines.

Haloacetyls
Thiol-containing compounds, such as dithiothreitol (DTT) and betamercaptoethanol (BME), must be excluded from reaction buffers used with
maleimides because they will compete for coupling sites. For example, if DTT
were used to reduce disulfides in a protein to make sulfhydryl groups available
for conjugation, the DTT would have to be thoroughly removed using a desalting
column before initiating the maleimide reaction. Interestingly, the disulfidereducing agent TCEP does not contain thiols and does have to be removed
before reaction using maleimide reagents.

chemical reactivity
of crosslinkers and modification reagents
Pyridyl disulfides
S
Pyridyldithiol
Pyridyl disulfides react with sulfhydryl groups over a broad pH range (the
optimum is pH 4-5) to form disulfide bonds. During the reaction, a disulfide
exchange occurs between the molecules SH group and the reagents
2-pyridyldithiol group. As a result, pyridine-2-thione is released and can be
measured spectrophotometrically (Amax = 343nm) to monitor the progress of the
reaction. These reagents can be used as crosslinkers and to introduce sulfhydryl
groups into proteins. The disulfide exchange can be performed at physiologic
pH, although the reaction rate is slower than in acidic conditions.
Periodic acid (HIO4) from dissolved sodium periodate (NaIO4) is a well known
mild agent for effectively oxidizing vicinal diols in carbohydrate sugars to yield
reactive aldehyde groups. The carbon-carbon bond is cleaved between adjacent
hydroxyl groups. By altering the amount of periodate used, aldehydes can be
produced on a smaller or larger selection of sugar types. For example, treatment
of glycoproteins with 1mM periodate usually affects only sialic acid residues,
which frequently occur at the ends of polysaccharide chains. At concentrations
of 6 to 10mM periodate, other sugar groups in proteins will be affected
(Figure 10).

Chemical specificity
The reactive target(s) of the crosslinkers reactive ends. A general consideration is whether
the reagent has the same or different reactive groups at either end (termed homobifunctional
and heterobifunctional, respectively).
The buffer system required to perform bioconjugation. Variables include pH, buffer
concentration and protein concentration.
The molecular span of a crosslinker (i.e., the distance between conjugated molecules). A
related consideration is whether the linkage is cleavable or reversible.
The availability of a cleavage site within the spacer arm between the chemical reactive groups.
Chain structure
Affect whether a crosslinker or modifier can permeate into cells and/or crosslink hydrophobic
proteins within membranes. These properties are determined by the composition of the
spacer arm and/or reactive group.

structural properties

The number of functional groups on the proteins surface is also important to
consider. If there are numerous target groups, a lower crosslinker-to-protein ratio
can be used. For a limited number of potential targets, a higher crosslinker-toprotein ratio may be required. Furthermore, the number of components should
be kept low or to a minimum because conjugates consisting of more than
two components are difficult to analyze and provide less information on spatial
arrangements of protein subunits.

The spacer arm is the chemical chain between two reactive groups. The length
of a spacer arm (measured in angstroms) determines how flexible a conjugate
will be. Longer spacer arms have greater flexibility and reduced steric hindrance.
Longer spacer arms have the caveat of possessing more sites for potential
nonspecific binding. Spacer arms can range from zero length to > 100
angstroms (Figure 21).

Some crosslinkers contain a spacer arm formed from PEG subunits, resulting in
a polyethylene oxide (PEO) chain with abundant oxygen atoms to provide water
solubility. These crosslinkers are designated by a (PEG)n in their name and are
both water-soluble and unable to penetrate biological membranes. They provide
the added benefit of transferring their hydrophilic spacer to the crosslinked
complex, decreasing the potential for aggregation and precipitation of the
complex.

Many crosslinkers are used for making conjugates for use as immunogens. The
best crosslinker to use depends on the functional groups present on the hapten
and the ability of the hapten-carrier conjugate to function successfully as an
immunogen after its injection. Carbodiimides are good choices for producing
peptide-carrier protein conjugates because both proteins and peptides usually
contain several carboxyls and primary amines. Carbodiimides such as EDC react
with carboxyls first to yield highly reactive unstable intermediates that can then
couple to primary amines. Often peptides are synthesized with terminal cysteines
to enable attachment to supports or to carrier proteins using sulfhydryl-/aminereactive, heterobifunctional crosslinkers (Figure 27). This method can be very
efficient and yield an immunogen that is capable of eliciting a good response upon
injection. For more information on preparation of immunogen conjugates, refer to
the free Antibody Production and Purification Technical Handbook (1601974).

applications
of crosslinkers and modification reagents
One of the most common applications for crosslinkers is the production of
protein:protein conjugates. Conjugates are often prepared by attachment of an
enzyme, fluorophore or other molecule to a protein that has affinity for one of the
components in the biological system being studied. Antibody-enzyme conjugates
(primary or secondary antibodies) are among the most common protein:protein
conjugates used. Although secondary antibody conjugates are available and
relatively inexpensive, enzyme-labeled primary antibodies are usually expensive
and can be difficult to obtain. Many reagents are used for the production of
antibody-enzyme conjugates. Glutaraldehyde conjugates are easy to make, but
they often yield conjugates that produce high background in immunoassays.
Carbohydrate moieties can be oxidized and then coupled to primary amines
on enzymes in a procedure called reductive alkylation or amination. These
conjugates often result in less background in enzyme immunoassays and are
relatively easy to prepare; however, some self-conjugation of the antibody may
occur (Figure 28).

to enhance the reaction. EDC is useful for coupling ligands to solid supports
and to attach leashes onto affinity supports for subsequent coupling of
ligands. Useful spacers are diaminodipropylamine (DADPA), ethylenediamine,
hexanediamine, 6-amino-caproic acid and any of several amino acids or
peptides. Spacer arms help to overcome steric effects when the ligand is
immobilized too near the matrix to allow access by the receptor. Steric
effects are usually most pronounced when the ligand is a small molecule.
Our aldehyde-activated AminoLink Plus Agarose Resin (Product # 20501)
uses reductive amination, NHS-activated agarose (Product # 26200) uses
NHS ester chemistry, and our SulfoLink Resin (Product # 20401) uses
haloacetyl chemistry to immobilize molecules, whereas our CarboxyLink
Resin (Product # 20266) uses carbodiimide chemistry. (Figure 30).

applications
of crosslinkers and modification reagents
In contrast to crosslinkers which are introduced to cells exogenously, methods
exist to incorporate crosslinkers into the proteome of a cell. This can be
accomplished with photo-reactive crosslinkers such as L-Photo-Leucine
(Product # 22610) and L-Photo-Methionine (Product # 22615). These
amino acid analogues are fed to cells during cell growth and are activated with
UV light. In the experiment below, photo-reactive amino acids were compared
to formaldehyde treatment for identifying endogenous protein complexes
(Figure 32).

The crosslinkers DMP (Product # 21666) and DSS (Product # 21555) are
used to immobilize antibodies on Protein A or Protein G supports for antigen
purification. After the antibody binds to the Fc-binding proteins, the antibody is
oriented so that the Fab region is available for antigen binding. DSS or DMP is
applied to the bound antibody column to link the two proteins through primary
amines. Thermo Scientific Crosslink IP Kit (Product # 26147) is based on this
chemistry. For more information on solid-phase immobilization, refer to the free
Protein Purification Technical Handbook (Product # 1602015).
Protein

Invivo crosslinking
Crosslinkers are used for identification of near-neighbor protein relationships
and ligand-receptor interactions. Crosslinking stabilizes transient endogenous
protein:protein complexes which may not survive traditional biochemical
techniques such as immunoprecpitation. The most basic cellular crosslinker
is formaldehyde (Product # 28906) which is commonly used to stabilize
chromatin interactions for Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays (Product
# 26156). The crosslinkers chosen for these applications are usually longer
than those used for subunit crosslinking. Homobifunctional, amine-reactive
NHS esters or imidates and heterobifunctional, amine-reactive, photoactivatable
phenyl azides are the most commonly used crosslinkers for these applications.
Occasionally, a sulfhydryland amine-reactive crosslinker, such as Thermo
Scientific Sulfo-SMCC (Product # 22322), may be used if one of the two
proteins or molecules is known to contain sulfhydryls. Both cleavable or
noncleavable crosslinkers can be used. Because the distances between two
molecules are not always known, the optimal length of the spacer arm of the
crosslinker may be determined by the use of a panel of similar crosslinkers with
different lengths. Thermo Scientific DSS (Product # 21555) or its cleavable
analog DSP (Product # 22585) are among the shorter crosslinkers used for
protein:protein interactions.

Creation of immunotoxins
Label transfer
Specific antibodies can be covalently linked to toxic molecules and then used to
target antigens on cells. Often these antibodies are specific for tumor-associated
antigens. Immunotoxins are brought into the cell by surface antigens and,
once internalized, they proceed to kill the cell by ribosome inactivation or other
means. The type of crosslinker used to make an immunotoxin can affect its
ability to locate and kill the appropriate cells. For immunotoxins to be effective,
the conjugate must be stable in vivo. In addition, once the immunotoxin reaches
its target, the antibody must be separable from the toxin to allow the toxin to
kill the cell. Thiol-cleavable, disulfide-containing conjugates have been shown
to be more cytotoxic to tumor cells than noncleavable conjugates of ricin A
immunotoxins. Cells are able to break the disulfide bond in the crosslinker,
releasing the toxin within the targeted cell.
Label transfer involves crosslinking interacting molecules (i.e., bait and prey
proteins) with a labeled crosslinking agent and then cleaving the linkage
between bait and prey such that the label remains attached to the prey
(Figure 34, page 21). This method allows a label to be transferred from a
known protein to an unknown, interacting protein. The label can then be used to
purify and/or detect the interacting protein. Label transfer is particularly valuable
because of its ability to identify proteins that interact weakly or transiently with the
protein of interest. New non-isotopic reagents and methods continue to make
this technique more accessible and simple to perform by any researcher.
Sulfo-SBED
Label transfer reagents can also have biotin built into their structure. This type of
design allows the transfer of a biotin tag to an interacting protein after cleavage
of a cross-bridge. Sulfo-SBED (Product # 33033) is an example of such a
trifunctional reagent (Figure 33). It contains an amine-reactive sulfo-NHS ester
on one arm (built off the -carboxylate of the lysine core), a photo-reactive
phenyl azide group on the other side (synthesized from the -amine) and a biotin
handle (connected to the -amino group of lysine). The arm containing the sulfoNHS ester has a cleavable disulfide bond, which permits transfer of the biotin
component to any captured proteins.
In use, a bait protein first is derivatized with Sulfo-SBED through its amine
groups, and the modified protein is allowed to interact with a sample. Exposure
to UV light (300-366nm) couples the photo-reactive end to the nearest available
C-H or N-H bond in the bait:prey complex, resulting in covalent crosslinks
between bait and prey. Upon reduction and cleavage of the disulfide spacer
arm, the biotin handle remains attached to the protein(s) that interacted with the
bait protein, facilitating isolation or identification of the unknown species using
streptavidin, Thermo Scientific NeutrAvidin Protein or monomeric avidin.

Highlights:
Mts moiety is highly specific for the sulfhydryl (SH) group that occurs in
the side chain of reduced cysteine residues, enabling precise, rapid and
quantitative labeling of the bait protein
Tetrafluorophenyl azide moiety reacts three- to four-times more efficiently than
regular phenyl azide moieties, increasing the likelihood of capturing sufficient
bait:prey complex to detect
Sulfinic acid byproducts of the Mts reaction do not interfere with disulfide
bond formation or the activity of the bait protein and decomposes quickly to a
volatile low molecular weight product
Disulfide bond spacer arm connecting bait and prey proteins is easily reversed
with commonly used reducing agents DTT, 2-mercaptoethanol or TCEP
Mts reaction and photoreaction are compatible with physiologic buffer
conditions required for most protein interactions
Long chain (LC) and short chain versions are offered, allowing one to more

Further analysis of the reaction products resulting from the simultaneous reaction
of these heavy and light crosslinkers with a target protein or protein complex is
accomplished by MALDI-TOF-MS, ESI-LC/MS/MS or ESI-FTICR-MS. The results
positively identify the crosslinked peptides. Distance constraints provided by
these data can yield low-resolution three-dimensional structure information that
can be used to create structural models of the protein in solution. Intermolecular
crosslinking of an interacting protein complex and subsequent MS analysis have
been successfully applied to determine the contact surfaces of binding partners
in a protein complex.1-5

Glossary of crosslinking terms
Acylation: Reaction that introduces an acyl group (-COR) into a compound.
Aryl azide: Compound containing a photoreactive functional group (e.g., phenyl
azide) that reacts nonspecifically with target molecules.
Carbodiimide: Reagent that catalyzes the formation of an amide linkage
between a carboxyl (COOH) group and a primary amine (NH2) or a hydrazide
(NHNH2). These reagents do not result in the formation of a cross-bridge and
have been termed zerolength crosslinkers.
Crosslinker: A reagent that will react with functional groups on two or more
molecules to form a covalent linkage between the molecules.
To order, call 800.874.3723 or 815.968.0747. Outside the U.S., contact your local branch office or distributor.
