Lipoamide-PEG11-Mal contains a lipoic acid group and a maleimide group moiety. The maleimide group will react with a thiol group to form a covalent bond, enabling the connection of biomolecule with a thiol. Lipoic acid contains two sulfur atoms (at C6 and C8) connected by a disulfide bond and is thus considered to be oxidized although either sulfur atom can exist in higher oxidation states. The hydrophilic PEG linker increases the water solubility of the compound. Reagent grade, for research purpose. Please contact us for GMP-grade inquiries.
