DTME (dithiobismaleimidoethane)

Thermo Scientific Pierce DTME is a mid-length, maleimide crosslinker for reversible covalent conjugation between sulfhydryl groups (e.g., protein or peptide cysteines) by reduction of the disulfide bond in the center of the spacer arm.

Features of DTME:

• Reactive groups: maleimide (both ends)
• Reactive towards: sulfhydryl groups
• Long (13.3A), cleavable, sulfhydryl-to-sulfhydryl crosslinker, composed of maleimide groups and 11-atom disulfide spacer arm
• Water-insoluble—dissolve first in DMF or DMSO, then add to aqueous reaction buffers
• Cleavable by reduction of disulfide spacer arm with DTT, TCEP or other reducing agent
