Description
DBCO-PEG6-DBCO is a specialized click chemistry linker characterized by two terminal DBCO groups connected by a hydrophilic PEG spacer arm. The DBCO groups facilitate rapid and efficient reactions with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules, forming stable triazole linkages without the need for a copper catalyst. Meanwhile, the PEG spacer arm not only enhances water solubility but also improves membrane permeability, ensuring versatile and effective bioconjugation applications.
Applications
DBCO-PEG6-DBCO is invaluable for bioconjugation studies and chemical biology applications, offering precise and selective labeling of biomolecules. Its dual DBCO functionality enables the simultaneous modification of two different targets or the cross-linking of biomolecules for the formation of macromolecular complexes. The absence of copper in the click chemistry reaction ensures compatibility with sensitive biological systems and avoids potential cytotoxicity.
