Description
Hydroxy-PEG1-methylamine is a PEG linker with a hydroxyl group and a methylamine group. The hydroxyl group provides a versatile site for further derivatization or functional group exchange, while the methylamine group reacts effectively with carboxylic acids, carbonyls (ketones, aldehydes), and other electrophilic molecules. The PEG1 spacer improves hydrophilicity and solubility in aqueous environments.
Applications
Hydroxy-PEG1-methylamine is utilized in research for creating bioconjugates, functionalized molecules, and exploring molecular interactions. Its dual reactive groups make it ideal for linker synthesis, surface modifications, and designing hydrophilic compounds for experimental applications.
