Description

Biotin-dPEG®12-DBCO, product number QBD-11811, is a click chemistry biotinylation reagent built on a medium-length (40 atoms, 46.3 Å) single molecular weight PEG linker with a discrete chain length (dPEG®) and functionalized with dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO) for strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), also known as “copper-free click chemistry.” The DBCO functional group reacts with any available azide moiety on a target molecule via SPAAC. The amphiphilic dPEG® spacer imparts water solubility to the biotin label, reducing non-specific hydrophobic interactions and reducing or eliminating concerns over aggregation and precipitation due to biotin’s well-known hydrophobicity. Because the hydrophilic dPEG® linker is longer than the classic, hydrophobic LC-LC-biotin, the biotin moiety has potentially better access to the binding pockets of avidin and streptavidin.
