Properties
Description
Azido-PEG3-aminoacetic acid-NHS ester functions as a PEG linker incorporating an azide group along with an NHS ester functionality. The hydrophilic nature of the PEG spacer increases its solubility in water-based media. Similar to previous products mentioned, its azide moiety can participate in click chemistry reactions with alkyne compounds like BCN or DBCO leading to stable triazole formations.
Molecular Formula
C14H23N5O7
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
It is commonly employed in bioconjugation reactions, where the carboxylic acid group can react with amine groups to attach biomolecules or nanoparticles. The PEG chain improves solubility and biocompatibility.
