Description
DNP-PEG4-DBCO is a bifunctional PEG linker featuring a dinitrophenyl (DNP) moiety and a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) moiety. DNP is renowned for its role in biological applications, including ion transport across membranes, while DBCO facilitates copper-free Click Chemistry reactions owing to its strain-promoted high-energy cycloaddition with azides. The polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer provides flexibility and solubility, making it suitable for various bioconjugation applications.
Applications
DNP-PEG4-DBCO can be used in bioconjugation and biomolecule labeling studies, especially in the development of bioorthogonal systems for selective and efficient conjugation. The DNP moiety enables specific interactions with target biomolecules or cellular components, making it valuable for applications such as protein labeling, drug delivery, and molecular imaging. Meanwhile, the DBCO group offers rapid and bioorthogonal conjugation with azide-containing molecules, facilitating the construction of complex biomolecular architectures with minimal background interference.
