Properties
Description
Mannose-PEG-folic acid, referred to as FA-PEG-mannose, is a specialized hybrid where mannose is attached to a 3 kDa PEG spacer with a folic acid moiety. This assembly exploits mannose's specificity, PEG's hydrophilicity, and folic acid's receptor binding.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 3 kDa
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-folic acid can be used to develop disulfide-rich hydrogels through vinylsulfone crosslinking of cysteine residues.
