Description
Palmitamide-PEG2-amide-PEG2-NHS ester is a compound featuring a 16-carbon palmitamide tail, a dual PEG2 spacer, and a terminal NHS ester group. The hydrophobic palmitamide tail facilitates lipid incorporation, while the hydrophilic PEG linker enhances solubility in aqueous environments. The NHS ester group enables efficient conjugation with primary amines on biomolecules.
Applications
Palmitamide-PEG2-amide-PEG2-NHS ester is used in research for labeling proteins, amine-modified oligonucleotides, and other amine-containing molecules. It is ideal for studying lipid-protein interactions, creating lipid-functionalized biomaterials, and developing hydrophilic linkers for advanced experimental and material science studies.
