Cy3.5-PEG-Mal, MW 5K is a versatile molecule.It is composed of three main components: Cy3.5, PEG, and Maleimide.
Cy3.5 is a fluorescent dye that can be used for labeling biomolecules and tracking their distribution in biological systems. PEG, short for polyethylene glycol, is a polymer that is often used as a surface coating in drug delivery systems to improve their stability and reduce their immunogenicity. Maleimide is a thiol-reactive functional group that can be used to covalently attach the Cy3.5-PEG conjugate to sulfhydryl-containing molecules such as proteins and peptides.
The functional groups present in Cy3.5-PEG-Mal, MW 5K make it an ideal tool for pharmaceutical research and development. Its fluorescent properties make it a valuable tool for imaging and tracking biomolecules in biological systems, while its thiol-reactive maleimide group allows for targeted covalent conjugation to proteins and peptides. Additionally, the use of PEG in the molecule provides improved solubility and stability, which are important factors in the development of effective drug delivery systems.
