Properties
Description
Acid-PEG13-NHS ester functions as a PEG linker featuring both a carboxylic acid and an NHS ester moiety. Its hydrophilic PEG spacer improves solubility in water-based environments. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amines when activated by agents such as EDC or HATU to form stable amide bonds. Additionally, the NHS ester allows for labeling of primary amines t-within proteins or other similar molecules containing amino functionalities.
Molecular Formula
C34H61NO19
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
This compound is utilized in bioconjugation for the attachment of biomolecules, such as proteins or peptides, to surfaces or other macromolecules. The NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) group facilitates the formation of stable amide bonds with primary amines, making it suitable for drug delivery and development of conjugated therapeutics.
