Description
Palmitamide-PEG4-amine TFA salt is a PEG linker featuring a palmitic acid (C16:0) tail and a terminal amine group, provided as a trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) salt. The hydrophobic palmitamide tail is useful for constructing lipid-based compounds, while the amine group is highly reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, and carbonyl-containing groups. The PEG4 spacer enhances solubility in aqueous environments.
Applications
Palmitamide-PEG4-amine TFA salt is used in research for designing lipid-conjugated molecules and studying lipid-molecule interactions. The amine group allows covalent coupling with biomolecules or other functional groups, making it suitable for exploring lipid-based delivery systems, surface modifications, and linker chemistry in experimental studies.
