Description
Iodoacetamido-PEG8-acid is a versatile, hydrophilic PEG linker featuring an iodoacetamide group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The iodoacetamide moiety serves as a strong alkylating agent, enabling covalent binding with thiol groups, while the carboxylic acid facilitates conjugation with primary amines through stable amide bond formation.
Applications
Iodoacetamido-PEG8-acid is used in protein modification, bioconjugation, and targeted drug delivery. It allows for selective thiol labeling of cysteine residues and efficient amine coupling, making it ideal for developing stable and functionalized conjugates in pharmaceutical and biochemical research.
