Description
Endo-BCN-PEG6-t-butyl ester is a click chemistry linker featuring a hydrophilic PEG spacer, enhancing solubility in aqueous environments. Its BCN group enables reaction with azide-tagged molecules. The t-butyl ester protects the carboxyl group (COOH), preventing self-coupling or polymerization under standard coupling conditions. It can be converted to a free acid under acidic conditions.
Applications
Endo-BCN-PEG6-t-butyl ester is vital in bioconjugation applications, facilitating specific coupling reactions with azide-tagged molecules. Its hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances solubility and biocompatibility in aqueous environments. The protected carboxyl group ensures stability during conjugation reactions, making it suitable for diverse research and diagnostic applications, including protein labeling, drug delivery, and biomaterials development.
