Properties
Description
Valeric acid-chondroitin sulfate lipophilic modifier introduces short-chain fatty acid through esterification, tuning the polysaccharide's hydrophobicity for membrane interactions.
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→80 linked)
Source
Chemical synthesis
Functional Group
Valeric acid
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-valeric acid can be used for its potential to analyze iodoacetate reactivity in cysteine-specific modifications.
