Properties
Description
The research tool vinylsulfone-PEG-mannose, alternatively named mannose-PEG-vinylsulfone, is prepared by conjugating mannose to a 2 kDa PEG segment with a vinylsulfone termination. It combines mannose's lectin affinity, PEG's biocompatibility, and vinylsulfone's reactivity.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 2 kDa
Functional Group
Vinylsulfone
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
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.
Applications
Mannose-PEG-vinylsulfone can be used to enhance drug loading through phenyl-mediated hydrophobic core stabilization.
