Hi Everyone,
I need to activate COOH groups of COOH-PEG-SH and further conjugate activated COOH groups with amine of an antibody. I want thiol groups to be intact and functional for further reaction with a maleimide in the subsequent step.
If I use EDC-NHS to activate COOH of COOH-PEG-SH, will the thiols too participate in the reaction ? Is there any way to just activate COOH groups without affecting the thiols ?
Thank you very much for your time.
Regards,
Abilash
