Azido-PEG-NHS ester

Azido-PEG-NHS ester is a widely used class of molecules in the field of pharmaceutical research and development. It is a versatile chemical compound that contains several functional groups, including an azido group, a PEG linker, and an NHS ester. The azido group makes the molecule highly reactive and can be used to modify other molecules through click chemistry, while the PEG linker provides water solubility and increased stability. The NHS ester group is a commonly used reactive moiety for labeling amine-containing biomolecules. In pharmaceutical research, Azido-PEG-NHS ester is commonly used for drug delivery, as well as for labeling and imaging studies. It can also be used to modify proteins, peptides, and other biomolecules, thereby enabling the development of new therapeutic agents.
