Properties
Description
Lipoic acid-PEG-mannose, also termed mannose-PEG-lipoic acid, is a research conjugate synthesized by linking mannose to a 350 Da PEG spacer with a lipoic acid group. It utilizes mannose's binding, PEG's solubility, and lipoic acid's redox activity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 350 Da
