Amino-dPEG®₂₄-OH (QBD-10868)

Description

Amino-dPEG®24-OH, product number QBD-10868, also known as Amino-dPEG®24-alcohol, is a long (71 atoms, 86.0 Å), monodispersed PEGylation reagent designed to modify surfaces and biomolecules. One end of the molecule terminates with a primary amine, while the other end terminates with a primary alcohol group. This extremely hydrophilic PEGylation reagent reacts with carboxylate groups via the primary amine, leaving the hydroxy terminus free for functionalization and further reactions or as a hydrophilicity or charge modifier for the conjugate molecule.

The most common uses for Amino-dPEG®24-OH include modifying biomolecules and passivating surfaces with a highly hydrophilic coating. The primary amine on one end of the dPEG® linker reacts with carboxylates to form stable amide bonds and with aldehydes and ketones to form labile Schiff bases that can be reduced to secondary amines under mild conditions for greater stability. Conjugations with this molecule most commonly use the amine-carboxylate reaction with a carbodiimide such as EDC. Alternatively, activation of carboxylate as the NHS or TFP ester followed by reaction under slightly basic conditions also permits conjugation of the carboxylate and amino moieties.
