Features of SIA:
•
Reactive groups: NHS ester and
iodoacetyl•
Reactive toward: amino and sulfhydryl groups
• Shortest sulfhydryl-reactive and amine-reactive heterobifunctional crosslinker available; compare to
SIAB• NHS ester reacts with primary amines at pH 7-9 to form a stable amide bond
• Iodoacetyl group reacts with sulfhydryl groups at pH > 7.5 to form stable thioether bond
• Non-cleavable
