Description
Mal-amido-PEG10-NHS is a PEG linker featuring a maleimide group, an amide linkage, and a terminal NHS ester group. The maleimide group is reactive with thiol groups, enabling the formation of covalent bonds with thiol-containing molecules. The NHS ester can react with primary amines to form stable amide bonds. The hydrophilic PEG spacer enhances the solubility of the compound in aqueous environments, making it suitable for various bioconjugation applications.
Applications
Mal-amido-PEG10-NHS is ideal for bioconjugation and protein labeling, enabling stable attachments to thiol and amine groups. It is used in drug delivery systems, biomolecule modifications, and the development of diagnostic tools in research.
