This invention relates to a method for synthesizing a substantially pure reactive lipid including, for example, N-[4-(p-maleimidophenyl)-butyryl]phosphatidylethanolamine (MPB-PE) and related compositions. The compositions of the present invention are useful as coupling agents and may be incorporated into liposomes and subsequently coupled to proteins, cofactors and a number of other molecules. A preferred coupling method is also disclosed as are protein conjugates.
