Description
Amino-PEG8-t-butyl ester is a PEG linker featuring a monodisperse structure and comprising an amino group with a t-butyl protected carboxyl group. The presence of the t-butyl protected carboxyl group allows for controlled reactivity, which can be activated under specific conditions. Additionally, the amino group exhibits reactivity with various functional groups, including carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyls, providing versatility in bioconjugation and chemical modification applications.
Applications
Amino-PEG8-t-butyl ester finds widespread application in bioconjugation, surface modification, and drug delivery systems. Its controlled reactivity enables precise functionalization of biomolecules and surfaces under mild conditions, making it ideal for conjugating targeting ligands, drugs, or imaging agents to biomolecules or nanoparticles.
