Description
Tri(amino-PEG3-amide)-amine is a water-soluble PEG linker featuring three amino groups. These amino groups exhibit reactivity towards various functional groups including carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyls such as ketones and aldehydes. The presence of the PEG spacer enhances the solubility of the compound in aqueous environments, making it suitable for a wide range of bioconjugation applications.
Applications
Tri(amino-PEG3-amide)-amine is widely employed in bioconjugation chemistry for the attachment of molecules to proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. The reactive amino groups enable selective conjugation with complementary functional groups, facilitating the formation of stable amide bonds or oxime linkages.
