6-Maleimidocaproic acid PFP ester contains a maleimide and PFP ester end group. Maleimides react with thiol groups within the pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 and form stable thioester bonds. PFP is an activated ester which can react with amine groups to form stable amide bonds.
Uses
6-Maleimidocaproic acid-PFP ester is an alkyl chain-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[1].
