Description
Hydroxy-PEG2-methylamine is a PEG linker with a terminal hydroxyl group and a methylamine group. The hydroxyl group serves as a versatile site for chemical modifications, while the methylamine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, carbonyls (ketones, aldehydes), and other electrophilic groups. The PEG2 spacer enhances solubility and hydrophilicity in aqueous media.
Applications
Hydroxy-PEG2-methylamine is utilized in research for developing functionalized molecules, studying bioconjugation strategies, and exploring molecular interactions. Its dual-functional groups allow for versatile applications, including linker design, covalent coupling, and the synthesis of hydrophilic compounds in experimental and material science studies.
