Mal-PEG-HZ, MW 10K (Maleimide-PEG-Hydrazide) is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative that contains two important functional groups: maleimide and hydrazide. The maleimide group is known for its ability to react specifically with thiol groups (-SH) to form stable thioether bonds, while the hydrazide group (-NH-NH2) is a versatile moiety that can react with carbonyl groups (-C=O) to form hydrazone bonds.
Mal-PEG-HZ, MW 10K (Maleimide-PEG-Hydrazide) is also a useful tool in the development of imaging probes and diagnostics, where it can be used to attach fluorescent or radioactive tags to targeting moieties for imaging and detection purposes.
