4-formyl-benzamido-dPEG®12-TFP ester, product number 10081, is an aryl aldehyde partner for our hydrazide- and aminooxy-containing products. It is used to introduce an aldehyde into a peptide, protein, or other biomolecules by reacting the 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl (TFP) ester end with free amines. Reaction with a molecule containing a hydrazide or aminooxy reactive group forms hydrazone or oxime bonds.

PEGylation with 4-formyl-benzamido-dPEG®12-TFP ester

Quanta BioDesign’s dPEG® technology creates single molecular weight PEG products with discrete chain lengths. In contrast, traditional PEG reagents are dispersed polymers containing an intractable mixture of different chain lengths of PEG, each chain having a different molecular weight. This dispersity creates significant analytical challenges for users of conventional PEG products. Our dPEG® products provide all of the benefits of traditional PEG products without the accompanying analytical complexity found in dispersed PEG polymers.

4-formyl-benzamido-dPEG®12-TFP ester is amphiphilic and dissolves in aqueous and organic solvents. Conjugation of the TFP ester end of the molecule should precede crosslinking with a hydrazide or aminooxy compound. The TFP ester reacts with free amines. Effectively, then, 4-formyl-benzamido-dPEG®12-TFP ester converts a free amine to a water-soluble aryl aldehyde. (Click here to read why we at Quanta BioDesign prefer TFP esters over the more common NHS esters.)

Conversion of an amine to an aldehyde in this manner is useful when it is undesirable or impossible to create aldehydes or ketones in biomolecules through sodium periodate oxidation. Moreover, aryl aldehydes are preferable to aliphatic aldehydes, because aryl aldehydes do not freely react with amines in aqueous solution to form a Schiff base. Consequently, spontaneous polymerization or modification of biomolecules will not occur in aqueous media when using 4-formyl-benzamido-dPEG®12-TFP ester.

After installing the aryl aldehyde, the conjugate is available to crosslink with a compound containing a hydrazide or aminooxy reactive group. Greg Hermanson has published protocols for these crosslinking reactions. Also, Quanta BioDesign offers many different dPEG® products containing hydrazide and aminooxy reactive groups that can partner with our aryl aldehyde products.

Act Now

Hydrophobic crosslinking reagents are sources of problems in bioconjugation chemistry. So, stop using inferior crosslinkers! You can do better. Quanta BioDesign offers dPEG®-based crosslinkers that provide water solubility, improved hydrodynamic volume, no background noise (which means better signal), and no protein precipitation caused by aggregation. Why use anything else?
