Description
Biotin-PEG2-iodide is a biotinylated PEG linker featuring a reactive iodide group and a PEG2 spacer. The iodide moiety acts as an excellent leaving group, enabling nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the biotin unit ensures strong binding affinity to streptavidin and avidin proteins.
Applications
Biotin-PEG2-iodide is used in protein labeling, affinity purification, and surface modification. It facilitates efficient conjugation with nucleophiles, allowing for biotin tagging and enhancing detection, isolation, and immobilization of biomolecules in various biochemical assays.
