Used primarily in bioconjugation, it serves as a linker molecule to attach proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules to various surfaces or carriers. Its norbornene group enables click chemistry reactions, particularly in bioorthogonal labeling, while the succinimidyl ester reacts with amine groups to form stable amide bonds. This compound is valuable in drug delivery systems, diagnostic assays, and the development of biomaterials, where precise and efficient conjugation is essential. Its application extends to polymer chemistry, where it aids in creating functionalized polymers for advanced material science.
