Description
PLLA(1k)-PEG(3k)-Mal features a smaller PLLA block with a molecular weight of 1 kDa, connected to a PEG segment of 3 kDa via a maleimide (Mal) group. Maleimide groups are reactive towards thiol groups, enabling efficient conjugation with cysteine-containing proteins.
Applications
PLLA(1k)-PEG(3k)-Mal can be used to construct biocompatible materials for applications, such as molecule carriers or surface modification agents due to its balanced hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.
