IdealforImmunoprecipitationofproteincomplexes:
LowbackgroundandcovalentlinkingofantibodiestothebeadsurfacemakeDynabeadsTosylactivatedanexcellentchoiceforImmunoprecipitationofproteinsandproteincomplexes(Co-Immunoprecipitation,Co-IP).Gentleandrapidmagneticconcentrationofthebeadsandshortincubationtimes(possIBLeduetofastsurface-basedbindingkinetics)makeDynabeadsTosylactivatedanexcellentchoicefortheimmunoprecipitationofhighly-lABIleorand/ortransient(short-lived)proteincomplexes.

CouplingProcedureOutline:
CovalentcouplingisperformedovernightbyincubatingthedesiredligandwiththeDynabeadsTosylactivated.LigandscommonlycoupledtoDynabeadsTosylactivatedincludepeptidesandproteins(e.g.antibodiesforImmunoprecipitationorCo-Immunoprecipitation).CouplingoccursatneutraltohighpHandat37°C.WerecommendcouplingatpH8.5-9.5,butforpHlabileligands,couplingcanbeperformedinanalternativebufferatpH7.4.
