DBCO-mPEG

DBCO-mPEG is a functional group that has gained increasing attention in drug research and development due to its unique properties. This group is composed of three distinct components: dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and methyl. DBCO-mPEG is a clickable group that allows for bioorthogonal chemistry, which enables the specific labeling and modification of biological molecules in complex systems. This feature has made DBCO-mPEG a valuable tool in drug discovery, where it is used to selectively conjugate drugs to targeting molecules such as antibodies, peptides, and proteins.
