Properties
Description
Mannose-PEG-lipoic acid, alternatively known as lipoic acid-PEG-mannose, is a conjugate designed for research purposes, created by attaching mannose to a 750 Da PEG linker with lipoic acid. This compound combines mannose's lectin-binding properties, PEG's water-soluble nature, and lipoic acid's reactive group.
