Description
DNP-PEG12-amine is a versatile PEG linker equipped with both a dinitrophenyl (DNP) moiety and a primary amine. The DNP component serves as an effective Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) quencher, particularly when paired with tryptophan or tyrosine residues. Meanwhile, the primary amine offers flexibility for diverse applications, including reductive aminations and couplings, enabling the conjugation of various molecules or biomolecules.
Applications
DNP-PEG12-amine can be used in fluorescence-based studies and bioconjugation strategies. The DNP moiety acts as an efficient quencher, facilitating fluorescence quenching in FRET-based assays when paired with suitable fluorophores. Moreover, the primary amine provides a reactive handle for conjugation with various molecules, allowing for the attachment of fluorescent probes, targeting ligands.
