Description
Aminooxy-PEG5-azide acts as a biolabeling agent containing both an aminooxy group and an azide moiety. The hydrophilic nature of the PEG spacer enhances solubility in aqueous solutions. The aminooxy functionality can be utilized in bioconjugation by reacting with aldehyde groups to form oxime bonds, and if reduced, it will create hydroxylamine linkages. Additionally, the azide can react with alkyne compounds like BCN or DBCO through click chemistry processes resulting in stable triazole formations.
