Properties
Description
Mannose-PEG-COOH, known as carboxylic acid-PEG-mannose, is a research-specific construct synthesized by attaching mannose to a 5 kDa PEG spacer and a carboxylic acid. It exploits mannose's lectin recognition, PEG's biocompatibility, and carboxylic acid's functionality.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 5 kDa
Functional Group
Carboxylic acid
