Description
Bis-Mal-PEG3 is a PEG linker featuring two maleimide groups and a short PEG3 spacer. The maleimide groups enable selective and efficient reactions with thiol groups, forming stable covalent bonds. The PEG3 spacer enhances hydrophilicity and solubility in aqueous environments, making it suitable for diverse conjugation applications.
Applications
Bis-Mal-PEG3 is widely used in research for thiol-specific bioconjugation, crosslinking of biomolecules, and development of multifunctional linkers. Its dual maleimide groups allow simultaneous coupling with two thiol-containing molecules, facilitating the creation of protein conjugates, hydrophilic crosslinkers, and functionalized biomaterials for experimental studies.
