† Reacts nonspecifically with available sites upon UV illumination.
‡ These reagents contain cryptic thiols that are exposed by disulfide reduction (SPDP or PEAS) or deacetylation (SATA) and can be subsequently disulfide-coupled to other thiolated molecules or thioether-coupled to maleimides or iodoacetamides.
§ EDAC couples amines to carboxylic acids (Derivatization Reagents for Carboxylic Acids and Carboxamides—Section 3.4).
