Amine PEG BOC-Amine Mp 5000

Amine PEG BOC-Amine (BOC-NH-PEG-NH₂) is a bifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative containing a protected amine (-BOC) and a free amine (-NH₂) terminal groups. The tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC) group protects the amine functionality, allowing for selective deprotection under mild acidic conditions to reveal a reactive amine for further modifications. This feature makes it ideal for stepwise peptide synthesis, drug delivery, and biomaterial functionalization.

Applications:
Peptide & Protein Conjugation: Used as a spacer molecule for protein modifications, enhancing solubility and stability.
Controlled Drug Delivery Systems: Protects amines during synthesis and enables pH-responsive drug release upon deprotection.
Biomaterial & Hydrogel Functionalization: Allows site-specific modifications in tissue engineering and surface coatings.
Polymer & Nanoparticle Engineering: Serves as a functional linker for PEGylation and nanoparticle stabilization.
