Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 54 words
A method of selectively establishing a cleavable cross-link between sulfhydryl groups present on a protein substrate molecule comprising: reacting the sulfhydryl groups with a disulfide compound represented by the formula: ##STR6## wherein R and R 1 are lower alkyl or lower alkenyl groups having one to four carbon atoms, and X is a halide.
