Description
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG5-amine is a PEG linker with a Boc-protected amino group and five PEG units. The hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances solubility in aqueous environments. The amino group is reactive with various functional groups like carboxylic acids and activated NHS esters. The Boc protection can be selectively removed under mild acidic conditions, freeing the amine for conjugation reactions.
Applications
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG5-amine can be used in bioconjugation, drug delivery, and surface modification. Its bifunctionality enables the conjugation of biomolecules, polymers, or drugs to surfaces or other molecules via- amide bond formation. The controlled deprotection of the Boc group ensures precise control over the reaction conditions, facilitating efficient and selective chemical modifications.
