Thiol-PEG6-Azide is a small molecule linker that contains several functional groups, including a thiol group, a PEG (polyethylene glycol) chain, and an azide group.
The thiol group in Thiol-PEG6-Azide can react with other thiol-containing molecules to form stable disulfide linkages, which can be used to attach the linker to a wide range of biomolecules. The PEG chain improves the solubility and biocompatibility of the linker, making it an ideal choice for biological applications. The azide group, on the other hand, can react with alkyne or cyclooctyne groups to form stable triazole linkages, allowing the linker to be further modified or conjugated with other molecules.
Thiol-PEG6-Azide is a versatile and widely used linker in bioconjugation and drug delivery applications. Its unique combination of functional groups makes it a valuable tool in the development of targeted therapeutics, enabling the selective delivery of drugs or biomolecules to specific cells or tissues.
