Properties
Description
The research molecule FA-PEG-mannose, also known as mannose-PEG-folic acid, is formed by functionalizing mannose with a 5 kDa PEG tether bearing a folic acid functionality. This structure integrates mannose's binding, PEG's solubility, and folic acid's utility.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 5 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 optimize mannose surface density for maximal DC-SIGN receptor clustering effects.
