Properties
Description
Mannose-PEG-vinylsulfone, referred to as vinylsulfone-PEG-mannose, is a specialized hybrid where mannose is attached to a 3 kDa PEG spacer with a vinylsulfone moiety. This assembly exploits mannose's specificity, PEG's hydrophilicity, and vinylsulfone's thiol-reactive utility.
Molecular Weight
PEG: 3 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 develop enzyme-responsive hydrogels through vinylsulfone-protease cleavage sites.
