EDC hydrochloride

EDC hydrochloride (EDC-HCl Crosslinker) is a water-soluble carbodiimide compound. EDC hydrochloride, as a condensing agent, forms peptide bonds through the condensation reaction of carboxyl and amino groups and can be used to synthesize peptides with specific sequences and functions. EDC hydrochloride can covalently bind haptens to carrier proteins to form immune antigens, which are used in vaccine research. EDC hydrochloride can react with the 5 'phosphate group of nucleic acids and is used for the labeling of DNA and RNA. EDC hydrochloride can cross-link proteins with nucleic acids and is used to prepare immune cross-links. EDC hydrochloride, as a crosslinking agent, connects the amine-reactive NHS ester of biomolecules with the carboxyl group, which can be used for protein coupling to create hybrid molecules with new properties and functions.
