N-Ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC·HCl) is a water-soluble coupling reagent used to join carboxyl (–COOH) and amine (–NH₂) groups to form amide bonds. It is widely used in peptide synthesis and bioconjugation and is known as a zero-length crosslinker because it does not remain in the final product.
