Properties
Description
Methacrylate-chondroitin sulfate crosslinkable derivative incorporates vinyl groups via carbodiimide chemistry, allowing radical polymerization into structured hydrogels.
Glycan Name
Chondroitin sulfate
Glycan Structure
The glycan structure of chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of repeating disaccharide units. Each unit consists of:
N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) (β1→4 linked)
D-glucuronic acid (GlcA) (β1→74 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Methacrylate
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.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Chondroitin sulfate-methacrylate can be used for its potential to utilize biotin tags for affinity-based purification of polymer conjugates.
