Description | Azide-PEG9-amido-C4-Boc is a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based linker utilized in the synthesis of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs)[1]. |
In vitro | PROTACs contain two different ligands connected by a linker; one is a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other is for the target protein. PROTACs exploit the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins[1]. |
Synonyms | 5-(Azide-PEG9-ethylcarbamoyl)pentanoic t-butyl ester |
molecular weight | 666.8 |
Molecular formula | C30H58N4O12 |
Storage | Powder: -20°C for 3 years | In solvent: -80°C for 1 year |
