Abstract

Abstract Coupling of biological materials is disclosed via 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzene sulfonic acid sodium salt (HNSA) esters. The novel activated esters are structured so as to react at one end with an amine group of a selected biological or non-biological material, thereby releasing the spectroscopically monitorable HNSA dianion, and at the other end with, typically, a sulfhydryl group of a second material which may or may not be biological. The esters provide for a cross-linking reaction that may be easily controlled and monitored.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A water-soluble ester useful for coupling biological materials, said ester being of the formula: ##STR27## wherein R is X--S--S-- wherein Q is selected from the group consisting of ##STR28## wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, NO 2 and COOH, and Y is a divalent space moiety covalently linking R to the carboxyl carbon of the ester, and selected from the group consisting of acylic saturated linear alkylene having 1-10 carbon atoms, branched alkylene having 1-10 carbon atoms and cycloalkylene having 5 to 8 carbon atoms in their cyclic rings.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 98 words
A water-soluble ester useful for coupling biological materials, said ester being of the formula: ##STR27## wherein R is X--S--S-- wherein Q is selected from the group consisting of ##STR28## wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, NO 2 and COOH, and Y is a divalent space moiety covalently linking R to the carboxyl carbon of the ester, and selected from the group consisting of acylic saturated linear alkylene having 1-10 carbon atoms, branched alkylene having 1-10 carbon atoms and cycloalkylene having 5 to 8 carbon atoms in their cyclic rings.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 11 words
The water soluble ester of claim 1 wherein R is X--S--S--.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The water soluble ester of claim 4 wherein X is selected from the group consisting of ##STR29##
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
The water soluble ester of claim 1 wherein Y is selected from alkylene having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in their chains and cycloalkylene having from 5 to 9 carbon atoms in their cyclic rings.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 77 words
The water-soluble ester of claim 1 wherein the ester is given by the formula: ##STR30## in which Y is a divalent acrylic hydrocarbon spacer moiety consisting of chain selected from the group consisting of an alkylene having 1 to 10 atoms cycloalkylene having 5 to 8 carbon atoms and X is selected from the group consisting of ##STR31## where R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from the group consisting of --H, --NO 2 and --COOH.
