SH-PEG12-COOH (CAS NO.: 1032347-93-5) is a PEG linker with a thiol group and a terminal carboxylic acid. The hydrophilic PEG spacer improves solubility in aqueous media. The thiol group is highly reactive with maleimide, OPSS, vinylsulfone, and transition metal surfaces like gold and silver. The terminal carboxylic acid can react with primary amines in the presence of activators such as EDC or HATU to form stable amide bonds.
SH-PEG12-COOH is commonly used to form conjugates with gold nanoparticles for applications in neuroimaging and drug delivery. Its versatile reactivity makes it an excellent choice for bioconjugation and advanced biomedical applications.
