Application: | N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride has been used: • for the immobilisation of trypsin onto self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) • as a component for the preparation of collagen matrices • for the preparation of phosphoethanolamine(PEt)- |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Water soluble condensing reagent. EDAC is generally utilized as a carboxyl activating agent for amide bonding with primary amines. In addition, it will react with phosphate groups. EDAC has been used in peptide synthesis; crosslinking proteins to nucleic acids; and preparation of immunoconjugates as examples. Typically, EDAC is utilized in the pH range 4.0-6.0 without buffers. In particular, amine and carboxylate buffers should be avoided. |
