TCO-PEG1-Val-Cit-PAB-OH
This is a high-purity cleavable linker with a TCO group for rapid, catalyst-free tetrazine ligation. A short PEG1 spacer improves solubility and reduces steric hindrance. The Val-Cit-PAB unit enables protease-triggered payload release via self-immolation. It is ideal for antibody–drug conjugates and targeted delivery systems.
