For direct conjugation to compounds containing free sulfhydryl groups for use as an enzyme-linked detection reagent.
Instructions for use included. In a study on horseradish peroxidase, the Maleimide compounds succinimidyl 4-maleimidobutyrate and succinimidyl 6-maleimidohexanoate have been shown to be the most effective in the conjugation of Fab′ to horseradish peroxidase. This enzyme has also been used in a study to investigate the effectiveness in staining a mitochondrial protein, lipoamide dehydrogenase.
Peroxidase (POD) is an enzyme that includes a group of specific enzymes such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) peroxidase, NADP peroxidase, fatty acid peroxidase and a group of non-specific enzymes from various sources. It is present in animals, higher plants and other organisms.
Peroxidase (POD) helps in the dehydrogenation of several organic compounds like phenols, aromatic amines, hydroquinones etc.
