Description
TFP-PEG12-biotinidase features a biotin moiety and a TFP ester end group. The biotin group readily reacts with primary amino (-NH2) compounds, forming stable and irreversible amide bonds. Additionally, the hydrophilic PEG spacer arm enhances water solubility, ensuring compatibility with various biological applications. The TFP ester functionality provides versatility in conjugation reactions with primary amine groups and exhibits greater stability against hydrolysis compared to NHS ester reagents.
Applications
TFP-PEG12-biotinidase is ideal for site-specific biotinylation of proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules containing primary amine groups. The reaction between the biotin moiety and primary amines results in the formation of stable amide bonds, facilitating robust and irreversible conjugation. The hydrophilic PEG spacer arm enhances the solubility of the biotinylated molecule in aqueous environments, making it suitable for various biological assays, imaging studies, and diagnostic applications.
