Crosslinking of cMTBSLS. Pre-reduced and desalted proteins (20 μM cMTBSLS or MTBSLS as a control) were incubated with 20 μM bis-maleimidoethane or buffer. Free thiol content in the proteins was assessed by quenching samples with 5-fluorosceinyl-maleimide (5F) prior to SDS-PAGE. Gels were imaged for fluorescence and then stained with Coomassie and imaged for total protein. The bands labeled with an asterisk represent crosslinked cMT (XLcMT)
