General description

5-Norbornene-2-carboxylate NHS Ester is a versatile and functional compound designed for a wide range of applications in bioconjugation and polymer chemistry. This compound features an N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester, which allows for efficient reactions with amine-containing compounds, such as lysine residues on proteins and peptides. The norbornene structure facilitates bioorthogonal reactions, particularly the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition with 1,2,4,5-tetrazines, making it invaluable for biological imaging and advanced polymer synthesis.

Application

5-Norbornene-2-carboxylate NHS Ester is used in a wide range of applications including:


  • Protein Labeling: Efficiently labels proteins and peptides through reactions with amines.
  • Conjugate Preparation: Prepares conjugates for immunoassays and other analytical techniques.
  • Fluorescent Labeling: Facilitates the labeling of enzymes for detection and analysis.
  • Enzyme Immobilization: Works with EDC to immobilize enzymes for biosensor applications.
Its unique combination of NHS ester and norbornene functionalities makes it a powerful tool for researchers aiming to advance bioconjugation techniques, develop novel materials, and enhance biological imaging methods.
