Why formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a highly reactive, cell-permeable agent that is used by researchers as a reversible protein and nucleic acid crosslinking agent that couples primary amines that are within proximity of each formaldehyde molecule. Cell permeability allows the reagent to readily enter living cells enabling intracellular applications, such as protein interaction discovery or bioimaging. Formaldehyde crosslinks can be reversed simply by heating the sample.
