Has anyone used the Lightening Link Product (Innova Biosciences) to link PerCp to proteins other than antibodies? I am looking to label an enzyme.

The basis of the assay is that PerCp is in an activated form and I need only add the target protein and the conjugation will take place through free lysine residues. However, I don't see that anyone has used this product for anything other than antibody labeling so I was just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this product in the unconventional manner in which I intend to use it.
