Propargyl-PEG4-Maleimide has a propargyl group and a maleimide group. The propargyl group reacts with azide compounds or biomolecules under the catalyzation of copper in Click Chemistry reactions. The maleimide group enables the formation of a covalent bond with biomolecules containing a thiol group.
Mal-PEG4-propargyl is a PEG-based PROTAC linker that can be used in the synthesis of PROTACs[1]. Mal-PEG4-propargyl is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
