title: Enhancement by N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide of water-soluble carbodiimide-mediated coupling reactions.
abstract: Water-soluble carbodiimides are frequently employed in coupling or conjugation reactions, e.g., to link a peptide immunogen to a carrier protein. However, their utility is limited by low coupling yields obtained under some conditions. We have found that addition of N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide to such reactions can greatly enhance the yields obtained.
