Product Information
Mal-amido-PEG9-acid is a PEG product that belongs to the family of acid PEGs. It is commonly used in pegylation, a process that involves attaching polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to molecules for various purposes. Mal-amido-PEG9-acid is a heterobifunctional PEG, meaning it has two different functional groups at each end - maleimide and carboxylic acid. This allows for selective conjugation with molecules that have thiol or amine groups. The maleimide group reacts specifically with thiol groups, while the carboxylic acid group can be activated for conjugation to molecules with amine groups. Mal-amido-PEG9-acid serves as a versatile PEG linker, facilitating the attachment of PEG chains to target molecules and enhancing their stability, solubility, and pharmacokinetics.
