This product provides a folate-functionalized PEG linker with a short PEG3 spacer and carboxylic acid functionality that specifically supports bioconjugation, folate-receptor targeting research, ligand attachment, and functional biomaterial development.
Key Features and Benefits
- Folate-Functionalized Linker: Folate-PEG3-Acid combines a folate moiety with a hydrophilic PEG3 spacer for functional conjugation research.
- PEG3 Spacer: The short PEG3 chain specifically provides hydrophilic spacing between folate and compatible conjugation partners.
- Carboxylic Acid Functionality: The carboxyl group specifically provides a reactive site for activation and subsequent coupling chemistry.
- Amine Coupling: Activated carboxyl groups can react with primary amines to form stable amide linkages.
- EDC/NHS Chemistry: The carboxylic acid functionality supports common carbodiimide-mediated activation and conjugation strategies.
- Folate-Receptor Research: The folate moiety specifically supports studies involving folate-receptor recognition and ligand-targeting strategies.
- Hydrophilic Spacer: The PEG3 segment provides molecular spacing while adding hydrophilic character to the linker.
- Versatile Conjugation Platform: Folate-PEG3-Acid supports preparation of functional conjugates, polymers, nanoparticles, and biomaterials.
