Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) 6-FAM derivative of lactosyl, connected by a 5 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain for fluorescent imaging of carbohydrate-related phenomena.
Molecular Weight
PEG 5 kDa
Source
Chemical synthesis
Solubility
6-FAM-PEG-lactosyl is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, and DMSO, and shows excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
6-FAM conjugated to lactosyl with a 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed as a fluorescent tracer to study the dynamics of lectin clustering and redistribution on artificial lipid bilayers.
