description Product Description
Biotin-PEG11-Mal is widely used in bioconjugation and biochemical research due to its unique properties. The biotin moiety allows for strong and specific binding with avidin or streptavidin, making it valuable for applications like protein labeling, detection, and purification. The PEG (polyethylene glycol) spacer enhances solubility and reduces steric hindrance, improving the efficiency of bioconjugation reactions. The maleimide (Mal) group enables selective coupling with thiol groups, commonly found in cysteine residues of proteins or other thiol-containing molecules. This makes it particularly useful for creating stable biotinylated conjugates for use in immunoassays, flow cytometry, and diagnostic assays. Additionally, it is employed in drug delivery systems to functionalize nanoparticles or therapeutic agents, enhancing targeting and bioavailability. Its versatility and specificity make it a key reagent in molecular biology and biomedical research.
