Synonyms: 5-TAMRA maleimide

Functional Activity:
Tetramethylrhodamine-5-maleimide is the purified single isomer of tetramethylrhodamine-5 (and 6)-maleimide mixed isomers, and is widely used for thiol modifications of peptides and proteins to yield photostable, pH-insensitive, red-orange?fluorescent conjugates. Maleimides are among the most frequently used reagents for thiol modification. In most proteins, the sites of reactions are at cysteine residues that either are intrinsically present or result from reduction of cystines. Unlike iodoacetamides, maleimides do not react with histidines and methionines under physiological conditions.
