Description
m-PEG8-succinimidyl carbonate serves as a PEG linker characterized by its succinimidyl carbonate group, which acts as an effective leaving group commonly reacting with nucleophilic amines. This compound is commonly used in bioconjugation reactions for the modification and functionalization of biomolecules. It can be employed in the development of drug delivery systems, immunoassays, and protein labeling techniques.
Applications
This reagent is commonly employed for the selective modification of biomolecules. The succinimidyl carbonate group reacts with nucleophiles, such as amines on proteins or peptides, leading to the development of bioconjugates. This compound is particularly useful in creating stable linkages for biopharmaceutical applications, including vaccine formulation and antibody-drug conjugates.
