Properties
Description
This well-defined (≥95% pure) bioconjugate comprises polystyrene and lactosyl connected by a 1 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer, enabling research on polymer-based materials with carbohydrate targeting moieties.
Molecular Weight
PEG 1 kDa
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Polystyrene
Solubility
Polystyrene-PEG-lactosyl is soluble in a wide range of organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, and DMSO, and shows excellent solubility in water.
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
Polystyrene conjugated to lactosyl with a 1 kDa PEG spacer can be used to explore the influence of a longer, more flexible linker on the diffusion and interaction of carbohydrate-modified particles with binding sites.
