mPEG-bALD, also known as mPEG-butyraldehyde, is a linear monofunctional PEG derivative with a methoxy (CH3-O-) group and a butyraldehyde (bALD) functional group.
This compound is commonly used in bioconjugation and surface modification applications. The butyraldehyde group serves as a reactive handle for the covalent attachment of biomolecules or ligands containing amino groups (amines) or hydrazide groups. This conjugation process enables the introduction of specific functionalities onto biomolecules or surfaces for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostics.
