Description
Bromoacetamido-PEG4-NHS ester is a versatile PEG linker incorporating a bromide group and an NHS ester functionality. With its hydrophilic PEG spacer, this compound demonstrates enhanced solubility in aqueous environments. The bromide serves as an excellent leaving group, facilitating nucleophilic substitution reactions. Meanwhile, the NHS ester moiety enables selective labeling of primary amines (-NH2) on proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and similar amine-containing molecules.
Applications
Bromoacetamido-PEG4-NHS ester can be used in bioconjugation and chemical biology studies. Its NHS ester group allows for efficient and site-specific labeling of biomolecules with primary amines, enabling the attachment of various probes, dyes, or other functional groups.
