Description
Fmoc-PEG5-NHS ester is a compound that combines a Fmoc-protected group, a PEG5 chain, and an NHS ester. It is often used in peptide synthesis and bioconjugation. The Fmoc group provides protection during synthesis, while the PEG5 chain enhances solubility and the NHS ester enables conjugation with amine-containing molecules.
Applications
It is utilized in peptide synthesis and bioconjugation, this compound allows for the attachment of PEG to proteins or peptides via the NHS ester functionality, improving solubility and bioavailability.
