A cleavable azo linker was synthesized and reacted with 5-(6)-carboxytetramethyl rhodamine succinimidyl ester, followed by further reactions with di(N-succinimidyl) carbonate and 5-(3-amino-1-propynyl)-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate [dUTP(AP3)] to obtain the terminal product dUTP-azo linker-TAMRA as a potential reversible terminator for DNA sequencing by synthesis with no need for 3'-OH blocking.

methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mpeg) with molecular mass of 5 kda activated with succinimidyl carbonate and cyanuric chloride, separately was covalently attached to human red blood cells (rbcs). inhibition of agglutination by blood-type specific antisera (anti-d) was employed to evaluate the effect of the polymer coating. the remaining single cells after incubation with anti-d sera were counted...

A cleavable heterobifunctional cross-linker for the reversible conjugation of amines to thiol-modified DNA has been developed and tested. The succinimidyl 2-(vinylsulfonyl)ethyl carbonate (SVEC) was prepared in three steps and tested for its ability to react with amines and thiols. The linker was efficient for binding leucine to a thiol-modified DNA sequence and for releasing the amino acid at ...

Dynamic control of cell adhesion on substrates is a useful technology in tissue engineering and basic biology. This paper describes a method for the control of cell adhesion on amino-bearing surfaces by reversible conjugation of an anti-fouling polymer, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), via a newly developed photocleavable linker, 1-(5-methoxy-2-nitro-4-prop-2-ynyloxyphenyl)ethyl N-succinimidyl carb...

The reaction of sulfonyl peptides containing L- or D-configured Ser or Thr with bis(succinimidyl) carbonate in the presence of a catalytic amount of a base affords, in solution or in the solid phase, the corresponding peptides with one or two, consecutive or alternate oxazolidin-2-ones (Oxd). The Oxd ring can be regarded to as a pseudo-Pro with an exclusively trans conformation of the preceding...

herein, 1f2, an anti-her2 monoclonal antibody (mab), was covalently coupled to the surface of 5-fluorouracil (5-fu) loaded bovine serum albumin (bsa) nanoparticles. concerning two different crosslinkers for conjugation of 1f2, maleimide-poly (ethylene glycol)-succinimidyl carbonate (mal-peg5000-nhs) was selected due to its higher conjugation efficiency (23±4 %) obtained in comparison to n-succi...

Conjugation to macromolecular carriers is a proven strategy for improving the pharmacokinetics of drugs, with many stable polyethylene glycol conjugates having reached the market. Stable conjugates suffer several limitations: loss of drug potency due to conjugation, confining the drug to the extracellular space, and the requirement for a circulating conjugate. Current research is directed towar...
