Description
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG20-amine is a versatile PEG linker containing both a Boc-protected amine and a free amine group, joined by a twenty-unit PEG spacer. The Boc protection ensures stability during synthesis and allows for selective deprotection with strong acid, while the free amine group remains available for conjugation reactions.
Applications
t-Boc-N-amido-PEG20-amine can be used in bioconjugation, drug delivery, and materials science. Its bifunctional nature enables the conjugation of molecules via- the free amine group to carboxylic acids or activated esters, facilitating the synthesis of diverse bioconjugates tailored for specific applications. After deprotection of the Boc group, the free amine can participate in further conjugation reactions or modifications, offering flexibility in the design of functionalized PEG-based compounds for various biomedical and biotechnological purposes.
