Description
Azido-PEG23 amine represents a long-chain water-soluble PEG linker containing both an azide and an amino group. The reactive azide moiety interacts readily with alkynes including BCN and DBCO via click chemistry methods to yield stable triazole formations. Meanwhile, the amino group reacts effectively with carboxylic acids and activated NHS esters.
Applications
In the synthesis of polymeric materials, it can be incorporated to introduce PEG segments and control the properties of the polymer. In biomolecular research, it can be used to modify proteins or nucleic acids for various applications such as targeted delivery or imaging.
