Description
Amino-PEG9-t-butyl ester comprises a PEG molecule featuring an amino group and a t-butyl protected carboxyl group (tBoc). The hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances solubility in aqueous environments, facilitating diverse chemical reactions.
Applications
Amino-PEG9-t-butyl ester can be used in various bioconjugation and drug delivery applications. The amino group's reactivity enables conjugation with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyls, allowing for the synthesis of peptide conjugates, protein modifications, and nanoparticle functionalization. Upon deprotection of the t-butyl group under acidic conditions, the reagent enables controlled release mechanisms and targeted drug delivery strategies in biomedical research and pharmaceutical development.
