Description

m-dPEG®25-acid, product number QBD-11289, is a long (77 atoms, 89.9 Å), methyl-capped, discrete chain length polyethylene glycol (dPEG®) spacer that terminates in a propionic acid group. The terminal propionic acid moiety can be coupled directly to free amines using EDC or another carbodiimide. Alternatively, the reactive end can be converted into an active ester that can then be conjugated to free amines. N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenol (TFP), and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenol (PFP) typically are used for this purpose.

m-dPEG®25-acid can modify amine-functionalized surfaces (carbon nanotubes, other nanoparticles, quantum dots, etc.) or free amines on biomolecules. When used to coat surfaces or modify biomolecules, m-dPEG®25-acid reduces or eliminates non-specific binding, increases the hydrodynamic volume and water solubility of the conjugate molecule. Please note that modifying the surface amines of biomolecules with this uncharged, methyl-capped dPEG® spacer may alter the overall charge of the resulting conjugates.

Description

m-dPEG®25-amido-dPEG®24-acid, product number QBD-11097, is a long (153 atoms, 179.8 Å), methyl-capped, discrete chain length polyethylene glycol (dPEG®) spacer. The effective length of the dPEG® spacer is about 49 ethylene oxide units (i.e., m-dPEG®49-acid) with an amide bond in the middle of the chain. The reactive end of the molecule terminates in a propionic acid group. The terminal propionic acid moiety can be coupled directly to free amines using EDC or another carbodiimide. Alternatively, converting the reactive end into an active ester permits the conjugation of the transformed product to free amines. N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenol (TFP), and 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenol (PFP) are typically used for this purpose.

m-dPEG®25-amido-dPEG®24-acid, QBD-11097, reacts with amine-functionalized surfaces (carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles made of silica or various metals, quantum dots, and similar types of products) or free amines on biomolecules. When used to coat surfaces or modify biomolecules, m-dPEG®25-amido-dPEG®24-acid reduces or eliminates non-specific binding and increases water solubility. Crucially, the elimination of non-specific binding may increase the signal-to-noise ratio in imaging applications and assays where this is a consideration. Please note that modifying the surface amines of biomolecules with this uncharged, methyl-capped dPEG® spacer may alter the overall charge of the resulting conjugates.

Description

Bis-dPEG®5-acid, product number QBD-10230, is a short, monodisperse, homobifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) compound designed for crosslinking amines. Two propionic acid groups terminate either end of a discrete PEG (dPEG®) chain. These two end groups can be coupled directly to amines using a carbodiimide such as EDC. Alternatively, the carboxylate ends can be functionalized as active esters. Reactive groups such as NHS, TFP, PFP, and HOBt are suitable for this purpose. Reaction with various amines follows the activation step.

The hydrophilic dPEG® spacer imparts water solubility and flexibility to molecules to which it is conjugated. Moreover, conjugates containing dPEG® moieties have increased hydrodynamic volume. Also, the non-immunogenic crosslinker reduces or eliminates the antigenicity of the resulting conjugates.

Peptides, proteins, amine-containing biomolecules, and small molecules with primary or secondary amine groups can all be crosslinked with Bis-dPEG®5-acid. It may also be useful for peptide stapling or as a building block for macromolecular constructs.
