Properties
Description
DBCO-PEG5-TFP ester is a versatile labeling reagent designed for the modification of proteins, antibodies, and other amine-containing biopolymers. With its amine-reactive TFP ester group, this reagent enables efficient and site-specific conjugation to primary amines on biomolecules. The incorporation of a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm ensures a long and flexible connection between the reactive group and the biomolecule, reducing steric hindrance and enhancing accessibility for ligation with complementary azide-containing molecules.
