Lipoic acid PEG Alkyne

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

Description:

Lipoic acid PEG Alkyne (LPA-PEG-Alkyne) is one of Nanocs click chemistry reactive PEG derivatives that have a lipoic acid group on one end of PEG and an alkynde on the other 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. Alkyne, on the other hand, can react with azide group in aqueous solution via so called Click Chemistry.  Reaction between alkyne and azide results in a stable conjugation of Lipoic acid PEG to targeted substrates.
