<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide crosslinking couples that: bind more efficiently to object surfaces; may be controlled to achieve desired crosslinking; do not lead to homobifunctional crosslinking following modification of aggregated proteins; are stable to biological conditions of varying pH and temperature; are stable in solution or when lyophilized; are one step modifications unlike those reagents currently used in the art, e.g., SATA, SPDP type reagents; can be indirectly quantified by a spectrophotometric assay; and can be used to quantify the level of conjugation by spectrophotometric means utilizing the bond formed following conjugation. <P>SOLUTION: Reagents and methods are provided for crosslinking and immobilizing biomolecules, drugs and synthetic polymers, having formula B-R-Y (B, R, and Y are as defined in the specification). The reagents possess (i) a thiol or amino reactive group; and (ii) a hydrazino or oxyamino moiety. Conjugates and immobilized biomolecules are also provided. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
