Azide-PEG4-Val-Ala-PAB CAS:2529982-76-9 is a chemical compound that contains several functional groups, including an azide group, a PEG (polyethylene glycol) chain, a valine-alanine dipeptide, and a p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PAB) protecting group. This compound is often used in the field of bioconjugation, which involves the covalent attachment of two or more molecules to form a complex that retains the properties of each individual component.
The azide group in Azide-PEG4-Val-Ala-PAB is particularly useful, as it can react with alkyne or cyclooctyne groups to form stable triazole linkages, which can be used to attach the compound to other molecules. The PEG chain improves the solubility and biocompatibility of the compound, while the dipeptide and PAB groups can be used to target specific cells or tissues.
