Description
Benzyloxy carbonyl-PEG3-NHS ester is a PEG linker featuring a benzyl protecting group and an NHS ester. The NHS ester functionality enables labeling of primary amines (-NH2) in proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules. The benzyl protecting group is removable via- hydrogenolysis, while the hydrophilic PEG linker enhances water solubility.
Applications
Benzyloxy carbonyl-PEG3-NHS ester finds application in bioconjugation and chemical synthesis. Its NHS ester group enables efficient labeling of biomolecules and other amine-containing compounds for various research and diagnostic purposes. The compound's water solubility, facilitated by the PEG linker, makes it suitable for aqueous-based conjugation reactions and downstream applications in biology and medicine.
