Azide-PEG-azide is a PEG-based PROTAC linker used in the synthesis of PROTACs. It acts as a click chemistry reagent, featuring an Azide group that participates in copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) reactions with alkyne-containing molecules. It also undergoes strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups. PROTACs utilize the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins.
