DBCO-C2-PEG4-NH-Boc
This product is a heterobifunctional linker featuring a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) group, a short C2-PEG4 spacer, and a Boc-protected amine. The DBCO enables rapid, copper-free SPAAC click chemistry with azides. The Boc-protected amine remains stable during reactions and can be selectively deprotected specifically for further coupling to carboxyls or activated esters. The PEG4 spacer improves solubility and reduces steric hindrance, making this reagent especially well suited for multifunctional bioconjugation.
