4-(Maleimido)benzophenone（Cat No.:R000700） is a chemical compound used in bioconjugation and photolabeling applications. It contains a maleimide group, which selectively reacts with thiols, making it useful for attaching to cysteine residues in proteins and peptides. The benzophenone moiety is a photoreactive group that can form covalent bonds with nearby molecules upon exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. This property allows for the precise labeling of biomolecules and the study of protein-protein interactions. 4-(Maleimido)benzophenone is valuable in biological research for its ability to introduce photoactivatable groups into proteins, enabling controlled manipulation of biological systems with light.
