Mono-BOC-cystamine (mono BOC protected cystamine) is a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (BOC) derivative of cystamine used as crosslinker in biotechnology and molecular biology applications.Mono BOC Cystamine, Anachem This compound was originally reported by Hansen et al.
Uses
The disulfide chain allows the mono-BOC-cystamine to be easily cleaved, allowing removal of the tagging residue when desired.
Mono-BOC-cystamine is used as a crosslinker for the synthesis of cleavable photo-cross-linking reagent.
Mono-BOC-cystamine is used as a crosslinker for the synthesis of a biodegradable cystamine spacer in PGA-cystamine-Gd-DO3A, which shows improved MRI contrast for breast carcinoma imaging in mice.
