Cat. No.: X24-12-LY0005
Acrylate/Carboxylic acid PEG reagent, ACRL-PEG-acid, MW 5,000, Purity≥95%
Synonym: Acrylate/Carboxylic acid PEG reagent; ACRL-PEG-acid; Acid-PEG-ACRL
Properties
Description
ACRL-PEG-acid is a polyPEG linker containing acrylate and carboxylic acid groups. The acrylate group plays a key role in Michael's addition reactions. The hydrophilic poly PEG spacer increases solubility in aqueous media. The carboxylic acid moiety conjugates with amine in the presence of activating agent (e.g., HATU/EDC).
