Description
N-(amino-PEG4)-N-bis(PEG4-t-butyl ester) is a multifunctional PEG linker featuring a central amino group flanked by two PEG chains, each terminated with t-butyl ester functionalities. The amino group serves as a reactive site for bioconjugation reactions with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyl-containing compounds, facilitating the conjugation of various molecules or biomolecules.
Applications
N-(amino-PEG4)-N-bis(PEG4-t-butyl ester) can be used in bioconjugation chemistry, surface modification, and drug delivery systems. The amino groups enable the attachment of functional molecules or biomolecules to surfaces or other substrates, facilitating the fabrication of biofunctionalized materials with tailored properties. The presence of t-butyl ester groups offers flexibility in reaction conditions and provides protection to the reactive carboxyl groups, allowing for controlled deprotection under mild acidic conditions.
