Description
N-(DBCO-N-amido-PEG4)-N-Biotin-PEG4-t-Boc-hydrazide is a complex and multifunctional chemical compound. It combines a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) group attached to an amide-linked PEG4 chain, a biotin moiety linked to another PEG4 chain, and a t-Boc protected hydrazide group. The PEG4 chains increase solubility and biocompatibility. The DBCO group enables specific click chemistry reactions. The biotin component offers potential for specific binding interactions. The t-Boc protected hydrazide can be deprotected under appropriate conditions for further reactions.
