Hi, there.

Cross-linking itself is generally quite complicated procedure. Some people
used glutaralgehyde to cross-link the proteins, however, I belive that by
this way you will cross-link evrything :-).
More reasonable way is to use bifunctional imidoesters. At appropriate
condition they will produce an exelent picture of the product being
cross-linked.
Look for it in Pierce catalog. You`ll find cross-linking reactivity guide,
description of each reagent and appropriate references.
