This is a guide to the modification and crosslinking of biomolecules for use in research, diagnostics and therapeutics. It provides detailed information on the chemistry, reagent systems, and practical applications for creating labelled or conjugate molecules. It also describes a range of reactions with details on commercially available reagents and the use of these reagents for modifying or crosslinking peptides and proteins, sugars and polysaccharides, nucleic acids and oligonucleotides, lipids and synthetic polymers. This text is intended to help readers form unique complexes that can be used for detecting, quantifying and targeting important analytes. It is aimed at researchers in biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, pharmacology, cell biology and microbiology.
