Thermo Scientific Pierce MBS is an amine-to-sulfhydryl crosslinker that contains NHS-ester and maleimide reactive groups at opposite ends of a short aromatic spacer arm (7.3 angstroms).

Features of MBS:

• Reactive groups: NHS ester and maleimide
• Reactive towards: amino and sulfhydryl groups
• Non-cleavable
• Water-insoluble (dissolve first in DMF or DMSO); compare to Sulfo-MBS
• Popular for forming enzyme immunoconjugates

Abstract
Solid phase DNA amplification: characterisation of primer attachment and amplification mechanisms.
Authors:Adessi C, Matton G, Ayala G, Turcatti G, Mermod JJ, Mayer P, Kawashima E
Journal:Nucleic Acids Res
PubMed ID:11024189
Different chemical methods used to attach oligonucleotides by their 5'-end on a glass surface were tested in the framework of solid phase PCR where surface-bound instead of freely-diffusing primers are used to amplify DNA. Each method was first evaluated for its capacity to provide a high surface coverage of oligonucleotides ... More

'The covalent attachment of thiol-modified DNA oligomers; to self-assembled monolayer silane films on fused silica and oxidized silicon substrates is described. A heterobifunctional crosslinking molecule bearing both thiol- and amino-reactive moieties was used to tether a DNA oligomer (modified at its terminus with a thiol group) to an aminosilane film ... More

PubMed ID:12972413
Heterobifunctional thiol to amine cross-linking agents were used to gain new insights on the dynamics and conformational factors governing the interaction between the cardiac Ca2+ pump (SERCA2a) and phospholamban (PLB). PLB is a small protein inhibitor of SERCA2a that reduces enzyme affinity for Ca2+ and thereby regulates cardiac contractility. We ... More
