Description
Diketone-PEG11-PFP ester is a PEG linker featuring a diketone group and a PFP (pentafluorophenyl) ester group. The PFP ester is an activated ester known for its reactivity with primary amines, leading to the formation of stable amide bonds. Notably, the PFP ester exhibits enhanced stability compared to other amine-reactive groups, as it is less susceptible to hydrolysis. This stability ensures efficient and reliable conjugation reactions with primary amine-containing molecules.
Applications
Diketone-PEG11-PFP ester can be used in bioconjugation applications, particularly for the modification of biomolecules with primary amine functionalities. Through its reaction with primary amines, the PFP ester enables the conjugation of the diketone-PEG11 linker to proteins, peptides, antibodies, and other amine-containing molecules, facilitating the development of bioconjugates for various biomedical and biotechnological purposes.
