Properties
Description
Polyornithine-chondroitin sulfate polyelectrolyte complex self-assembles through electrostatic interactions between cationic polypeptide chains and anionic chondroitin sulfate.
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→51 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Poly-ornithine
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-poly-ornithine can be used for its potential to design sarcosine-based polymers to reduce protein corona formation.
