Synonym: Maleimide PEG Biotin, Biotin PEG2000 Maleimide, Maleimide PEG2000 Biotin

Description:

Biotin PEG Maleimide is one of Nanocs pegylated Biotinylation reagents with an activated maleimide group. Maleimide is able to react with thiol/sulfhydryl groups rapidly and specifically at neutral pH. Reaction between maleimide and thiol group enables fast conjugation of biotin tag to targeted molecules or material surfaces. Resulted biotin moiety can bind to avidin or streptavidin with high affinity. PEG linker between biotin and maleimide offers better water solubility, reduced steric hydrance and enhanced stability.
