Mal-PEG-SCM (MW 10000)

Mal-PEG-SCM (MW 10000) is a linear heterobifunctional PEG compound featuring maleimide and succinimidyl (NHS) ester groups. It acts as a significant PEG-containing crosslinker. The maleimide group reacts with thiols, SH groups, sulfhydryls, or mercaptans, while SCM denotes succinimidyl carboxymethyl ester, which can react with primary amines. Maleimide includes a reactive C=C double bond that is sensitive to light and oxygen.
