Description
Azido-PEG36-t-butyl ester is a long, monodisperse PEG linker molecule. The azide group can engage in reactions with alkynes, BCN, or DBCO through click chemistry to form stable triazole linkages. Additionally, the t-butyl protected carboxylic acid can be deprotected under acidic conditions.
Applications
Azido-PEG36-t-butyl ester is often utilized in the modification of biomaterials to improve their biocompatibility and functionality. The long PEG chain and the t-butyl ester provide protection and controlled release properties. It can be used in the development of long-acting drug formulations or in tissue engineering.
