Azido-PEG8-NHS ester linker CAS:1204834-00-3 contains an azide group and an NHS ester. The PEG spacer increases the aqueous solubility of the resulting compound. The azide group readily reacts with alkyne, BCN, DBCO through Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The NHS ester is widely used to label the primary amines (-NH2) of biomolecules such as proteins, oligonucleotides, and etc.
Azido-PEG8-NHS ester is a powerful tool in pharmaceutical research and development due to its unique chemical properties and versatile applications. Its ability to facilitate bioconjugation and site-specific labeling has made it an essential component in the design and development of novel drug delivery systems, diagnostics, and imaging agents.
