Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) Cyanine 3 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
Functional Group
Cyanine3
Solubility
Cyanine 3-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
Cyanine 3 conjugated to lactosyl with a 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed to study the spatial distribution and organization of carbohydrate receptors on artificial lipid bilayers.
