Description
N-(NHS ester-PEG3)-N-bis(PEG3-Mal) contains NHS ester-PEG3 and bis(PEG3-Mal) groups. The NHS ester enables conjugation with amine groups, and the Mal (maleimide) groups can react with thiol groups. The PEG chains increase solubility and provide flexibility. It is often used in the design of bioconjugates, especially for targeted drug delivery and protein modification. The multiple reactive groups offer possibilities for complex conjugation strategies.
Applications
This compound is utilized in crosslinking applications, particularly for creating linkages between biomolecules by maleimide-thiol chemistry. It’s beneficial in forming stable conjugates for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, as well as in creating multifunctional constructs for targeted delivery.
