Properties
Description
pGlu(3K)-PEG(5K)-pGlu(3K) is a linear block copolymer consisting of three polyglutamic acid chains alternating with a polyethylene glycol chain. This structure is both hydrophilic and functional.
Molecular Weight
pGlu(3 kDa), PEG(5 kDa), pGlu(3 kDa)
Functional Group 2
Carboxylic acid
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
pGlu(3K)-PEG(5K)-pGlu(3K) can be used to construct self-assembled vesicles for molecule delivery, as it combines the hydrophilic pGlu segments with the biocompatible PEG chain, allowing for controlled release and targeting of active molecule agents.
