Description
Mal-amido-PEG5-alkyne is a reagent grade PEG linker containing a maleimide group and an alkyne, designed for copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne click chemistry reactions. The PEG spacer increases water solubility. The maleimide group will react with a thiol group to form a covalent bond, enabling the connection of a biomolecule with a thiol.
Applications
Mal-amido-PEG5-alkyne is used in molecular biology and bioconjugation research, facilitating efficient copper-catalyzed click chemistry reactions with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules, making it ideal for studying biomolecular interactions and developing targeted drug delivery systems.
