Properties
Description
Azido-PEG8-CH2CO2H serves as a water-soluble PEG linker. Its hydrophilic PEG spacer improves solubility in aqueous environments. The azide (N3) group can react via click chemistry with alkynes such as BCN or DBCO to form stable triazole linkages. Furthermore, the terminal carboxylic acid can interact with primary amine groups when activated by agents like EDC or HATU to create stable amide bonds.
