Description
Biotin-PEG3-hydrazide functions as another biotinylation agent activated by a hydrazide, suitable for labeling glycoproteins and carbohydrate-containing substances with oxidizable sugars or aldehydes present. Similar to other products, its hydrazine moiety reacts with aldehydes forming semi-permanent hydrazone bonds.
Applications
This compound is commonly employed in bioconjugation studies. The biotin moiety allows for specific binding to streptavidin or avidin, while the PEG3 spacer provides solubility and flexibility. It can be used to tag and purify biomolecules in various assays and research applications.
