Properties
Description
Also referred to as aldehyde-PEG-mannose or mannose-PEG-aldehyde, this research molecule is synthesized by coupling mannose with an aldehyde group using a 10 kDa PEG spacer, combining mannose's immune recognition, PEG's solubility, and aldehyde's activity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 10 kDa
Functional Group
Aldehyde
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Applications
Mannose-PEG-aldehyde can be used to engineer amino-PEG brush density gradients for controlled cell adhesion studies.
