Description
Azido-PEG12-NHS ester serves as a water-soluble crosslinker featuring both an azide group and an NHS ester functionality. The azide can engage in reactions with alkyne compounds like BCN or DBCO through click chemistry to form stable triazole linkages. Furthermore, the NHS ester can be utilized to label primary amines t-present in proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and various other amino-containing molecules.
Applications
Azido-PEG12-NHS ester is commonly utilized for the conjugation of biomolecules, especially proteins and peptides. The NHS ester reacts with amine groups, and the PEG chain enhances solubility and stability.
