Photoreactive Crosslinkers

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of photoreactive crosslinkers for use in various applications. Photoreactive crosslinkers are versatile compounds used to study the spatial and temporal interactions between biomolecules. These crosslinkers contain photoactivatable groups that, upon exposure to UV light, form covalent bonds with nearby molecules. This property makes them invaluable for capturing transient and weak interactions that are otherwise difficult to study. Researchers use photoreactive crosslinkers to map protein-protein, protein-DNA, and protein-RNA interactions, providing detailed insights into the complex networks that regulate cellular functions. These crosslinkers are also employed in structural biology to stabilize protein complexes for analysis by techniques such as X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy. Additionally, photoreactive crosslinkers are used in the development of biomaterials, where they facilitate the creation of stable and functionalized surfaces. By offering a comprehensive selection of high-quality photoreactive crosslinkers, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports advanced research in biochemistry, molecular biology, and materials science. These products enable scientists to perform precise and reproducible experiments, driving innovations in understanding molecular interactions and developing new technologies.
