DBCO-Maleimide
This product is a heterobifunctional linker combining a dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) group for copper-free SPAAC click chemistry and a maleimide group for thiol-specific conjugation. This design specifically enables dual bioorthogonal and thiol reactivity, making it highly valuable for bioconjugation, ADC development, and multifunctional probe design.
Key Features and Benefits:
-
DBCO Group: Performs rapid, catalyst-free SPAAC click chemistry with azides.
-
Maleimide Group: Selectively reacts with thiols to form stable thioether bonds.
-
Dual Reactivity: Integrates orthogonal bioorthogonal and thiol-targeted chemistries.
-
Compact Design: Offers efficient conjugation with minimal steric hindrance.
-
High Purity: Ensures reproducibility in sensitive workflows.
Applications:
-
Antibody–Drug Conjugates (ADCs): Provides dual-reactive linkers for targeted drug delivery.
-
Bioconjugation: Couples biomolecules via azide/alkyne and thiol handles.
-
Probe Development: Builds multifunctional probes for imaging and diagnostics.
-
Drug Delivery: Enables PEGylated scaffolds with dual functionality.
Storage and Handling:
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C in a sealed, moisture- and light-protected container.
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents (e.g., DMF, DMSO); avoid premature maleimide hydrolysis.
This product integrates SPAAC click chemistry with thiol conjugation in one compact scaffold, specifically enabling versatile dual-functional conjugation for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
