Diazo-Biotin-PEG3-alkyne
This product is a multifunctional linker combining a diazo group, a biotin tag, a PEG3 spacer, and a terminal alkyne. The diazo group enables photoaffinity labeling through covalent insertion into C–H or heteroatom–H bonds, while the alkyne allows click chemistry with azides. The biotin provides strong affinity binding to streptavidin or avidin systems, and the PEG3 spacer specifically improves solubility and reduces steric hindrance.
