Aryloxymaleimides for cysteine modification, disulfide bridging and the dual functionalization of disulfide bonds

Abstract

Tuning the properties of maleimide reagents holds significant promise in expanding the toolbox of available methods for bioconjugation. Herein we describe aryloxymaleimides which represent ‘next generation maleimides’ of attenuated reactivity, and demonstrate their ability to enable new methods for protein modification at disulfide bonds. © The Partner Organisations 2014.
