DOTA-PEG5-azide is a PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) linker of the Polyethylene glycol (PEG) category, may be utilized to prepare PROTAC protein degraders. DOTA-PEG5-azide is a reagent for click chemistry. It has an Azide (N3) moiety and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing an Alkyne group. SPAAC (Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition) may also happen with compounds bearing a BCN or DBCO group.

Biological Activity

ln Vitro	One ligand is for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is for the target protein; these two ligands are joined by a linker to form PROTACs. The intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system is utilized by PROTACs to specifically destroy target proteins[1].

Solubility Data

Solubility (In Vitro)	May dissolve in DMSO (in most cases), if not, try other solvents such as H2O, Ethanol, or DMF with a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples
Solubility (In Vivo)	Solubility in Formulation 1: 100 mg/mL (144.35 mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

Preparing Stock Solutions		1 mg	5 mg	10 mg
	1 mM	1.4435 mL	7.2175 mL	14.4350 mL

	10 mM	0.1444 mL	0.7218 mL	1.4435 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
