Description
Azido-PEG1-NHS ester is a versatile PEG reagent designed for click chemistry applications. The azide (N3) can react with alkyne compounds, BCN, and DBCO through click chemistry methods to form stable triazole linkages. Furthermore, the NHS ester can be utilized to label primary amines t-present in proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other molecules containing amines.
Applications
In bioconjugation chemistry, it is commonly used to attach biomolecules such as proteins, antibodies, or peptides. It provides a reactive site for covalent coupling, enabling the conjugation of PEG chains to these biomolecules, which can improve their solubility, stability, and pharmacokinetic properties.
