Propargyl-PEG8-thiol
This high-purity PEG reagent has a terminal alkyne for CuAAC click chemistry and a thiol for selective coupling with maleimides, gold, or other thiol-reactive species. The PEG8 spacer enhances solubility, flexibility, and reduces steric hindrance for especially efficient, orthogonal bioconjugation in aqueous and organic systems.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Propargyl Group – Supports CuAAC click chemistry with azide-containing molecules for stable triazole linkage formation.
-
Thiol Group – Reacts selectively with maleimides, haloacetyls, disulfides, and gold surfaces.
-
PEG8 Spacer – Enhances solubility, flexibility, and accessibility of reactive groups.
-
Orthogonal Reactivity – Allows sequential and site-specific modifications without cross-reactivity.
-
High Purity – Supplied at >95% purity for reliable and reproducible results.
Applications
-
Dual-functional linker for orthogonal bioconjugation
-
Protein, peptide, and small molecule modification
-
Surface immobilization on gold substrates and nanoparticles
-
Antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) development
-
Multifunctional probe and sensor synthesis
Storage and Handling
-
Storage: Store at –20 °C, dry, and protected from light
-
Handling: Use anhydrous solvents such as DMSO or DMF; protect thiol group from oxidation by working under inert atmosphere or with stabilizers
This product combines a propargyl group for CuAAC click chemistry and a thiol group for thiol–maleimide or gold surface conjugation, with a PEG8 spacer specifically for solubility and reduced steric hindrance, enabling efficient orthogonal bioconjugation.
