Propargyl-PEG1-SS-PEG1-propargyl
This product is a symmetric bifunctional linker containing terminal propargyl (alkyne) groups, short PEG1 spacers, and a central disulfide (SS) bond. The alkynes allow copper-catalyzed (CuAAC) or copper-free click chemistry with azides, while the disulfide provides a cleavable site for reductive release. Its compact PEG1 spacers specifically improve solubility with minimal added length, making it especially useful for controlled and reversible bioconjugation.
