Cooh-PEG-N3 is a molecule with a special function, in which the CoOH group provides an acidic environment and is able to bind to basic substances, while the N3 group can bind specifically to amino biomolecules. This molecule can be used as a drug carrier, gene delivery tool, fluorescent marker, etc., and has a wide range of application prospects in drug discovery, gene **, bioimaging and other fields.
The synthesis method of Cooh-PEG-N3 is usually a chemical synthesis method, which requires a multi-step reaction to obtain the target molecule. First, the COOH group is ligated to the PEG molecule by a coupling reaction, and then the N3 group is introduced into the molecule by a reduction reaction. Reaction conditions need to be tightly controlled throughout the synthesis process to ensure the purity and yield of the product. In addition, the modification and functionalization of Cooh-PEG-N3 is also one of the research hotspots in this field, which can be used for a wider range of purposes by modifying different groups or introducing different functional molecules.
