Lipoic acid PEG DBCO

Synonym: DBCO PEG Lipoic acid, LPA-PEG-DBCO.

Description:

Lipoic acid PEG DBCO is one of Nanocs Click Chemistry reactive PEG derivatives that have a lipoic acid group on one end of PEG chain and a DBCO group (Dibenzocyclooctyne) on the other PEG terminus. Lipoic acid, also known as thioctic acid, contains a disufide bond that can bind to gold and other metal surface. It is also an important molecule parting in various biological processes. DBCO, on the other hand, is able to react with azide group via so called copper-free click chemistry reaction. Reaction between DBCO and azide allows efficient conjugation of Lipoic acid to targeted molecules quickly and easily.
