Description
N-(Azido-PEG3)-N-fluorescein-PEG3-acid has carboxylic acid, fluorescein, and azide moieties, designed for copper-catalyzed click chemistry reactions. Fluorescein is used for dye labeling. The carboxylic acid reacts with primary amines in the presence of activators (EDC, HATU, etc). The PEG spacer increases water solubility.
Applications
N-(Azido-PEG3)-N-fluorescein-PEG3-acid is used in molecular biology and bioconjugation research, promoting efficient copper-catalyzed click chemistry reactions with alkynes, making it particularly suited for bioconjugation, drug delivery, and other applications.
