Description
Propargyl-PEG3-triethoxysilane is a PEG derivative containing a triethoxysilane moiety and a propargyl group. Triethoxysilane is commonly used for surface modifications. The propargyl group can be reacted with azide-bearing compounds or biomolecules via copper catalyzed azide-alkyne Click Chemistry to yield a stable triazole linkage. The hydrophilic PEG chain increases the water solubility of a compound in aqueous media
