Aminooxy-PEG3-acid HCl salt linker contains an aminooxy group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The PEG spacer increases the aqueous solubility of the resulting compound. The aminooxy has been used to conjugate with carbonyl bearing (ketone and aldehyde) biomolecules to form oxime for reversible spacer.Oxime ligation is one of the hot topics in the field of bioconjugation of molecules due to its chemoselectivity and hydrolytic stability. The terminal carboxylic acid readily reacts with primary and secondary amine under EDC, DCC, HATU or other amide coupling conditions to form a stable amide bond.
