Thermo Scientific SulfoLink Coupling Resin is porous, crosslinked, 6% beaded agarose that has been activated with iodoacetyl groups for covalent immobilization of cysteine-peptides and other sulfhydryl molecules.

Features of SulfoLink Coupling Resin:

Specific to sulfhydryl (-SH) groups—iodoacetyl groups react specifically with sulhydryls to form irreversible thioether bonds
Fast—spin columns increase protocol speed; prepare and couple samples in 2 hours (peptides) to 3.5 hours (proteins)
Flexible coupling conditions—use pH 7.5 to 9.0 aqueous buffers, organic solvent (e.g., 20% DMSO) or denaturant (guanidine·HCl), as needed for protein or peptide solubility during coupling reaction
Easy-to-follow instructions—streamlined protocols for sample preparation, immobilization, and affinity purification
High capacity—Immobilize 1 to 2 mg of peptide or 2 to 20 mg of protein per 2 mL column of SulfoLink Coupling Resin

When incubated with a solution of peptide or protein that contains reduced cysteine residues, the iodoacetyl groups of SulfoLink Resin react specifically and efficiently with the exposed sulfhydryls (-SH) to form covalent and irreversible thioether bonds that permanently attach the peptide or protein to the resin. The result is a custom-made affinity resin for purification of antibodies, antigens and other molecules of interest. Choose one of two convenient SulfoLink Immobilization Kits for peptides or proteins. Each kit contains all the reagents for preparing the sample and five columns containing 2 mL of SulfoLink Resin that can be used in either gravity-flow or centrifuge format for efficient coupling reactions and multiple cycles of affinity purification. A single-column Trial Kit for use with either peptides or proteins is also available, or the SulfoLink Coupling Resin can be purchased separately.

Applications:
• Immobilize peptides having terminal cysteine residues to purify antibodies that were generated against peptide immunogens prepared by maleimide conjugation
• Immobilize antibodies in oriented manner through hinge-region sulfhydryls to ensure that antigen binding sites are not sterically hindered for antigen affinity purification

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the binding capacity of SulfoLink Resin?

SulfoLink Resin can bind approximately 5 mg of reduced IgG per mL of support. For peptides, the capacity is approximately 1 mg of peptide per mL of gel. Capacity for other compounds will vary.

When using the SulfoLink Coupling Resins and Kits, my peptide is not soluble in the coupling buffer. What can I do?

SulfoLink Immobilization is compatible with 3-4 M fresh urea or guanidine. Alternatively, dissolve the peptide in 100% DMSO. Add the peptide in DMSO to the coupling buffer so that the DMSO does not exceed 20% of the final solution.

Must I block the resin before each use when using the SulfoLink Coupling Resins and Kits?

No. The resin will no longer react with subsequent sulfhydryls after the ligand is attached and the remaining active sites are blocked.

How many purifications can I perform using the same SulfoLink Column?

The columns can be reused at least 10 times without loss of activity.

How does SulfoLink Immobilization work?

SulfoLink Resin is crosslinked 6% beaded agarose that has been derivatized with a 12-atom spacer arm that ends in an iodoacetyl group. This spacer arm is helpful for peptides or large proteins that might otherwise be sterically hindered in binding their ligand. The iodoacetyl group reacts with free sulfhydryls at pH 7.5-8.5 to form covalent thioether bonds. The sulfhydryl must be present in the reduced form because disulfides will not react with the iodoacetyl group.
