Description
Mal-PEG12-NHS ester acts as another PEG linker characterized by its inclusion of both maleimide and NHS esters within its structure. Its hydrophilic PEG spacer improves solubility when dissolved in water-based environments, enabling this NHS ester to label primary amines t-located within proteins or other related substances containing amino functionalities like modified oligonucleotides.
Applications
Mal-PEG12-NHS ester is widely used in bioconjugation reactions. It can be used to conjugate biomolecules such as proteins, antibodies, and nucleic acids for targeted drug delivery and therapeutics.
