Properties
Description
This research tool provides a highly pure (≥95%) polystyrene derivative of lactosyl, connected by a 5 kDa polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain for research on polymer-based substrates with carbohydrate targeting.
Molecular Weight
PEG 5 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 5 kDa PEG spacer can be employed to examine the long-range interactions and aggregation behavior of carbohydrate-functionalized colloids in solution.
