Description
Bis-PEG18-NHS ester contains two PEG18 chains with NHS ester groups at the ends. The extremely long PEG18 chains offer significant steric hindrance and enhanced solubility. The NHS esters facilitate conjugation with amine-containing molecules. It finds applications in the fabrication of advanced biomaterials, drug delivery systems with prolonged circulation times, and in the modification of surfaces to impart biocompatibility and specific functionalities.
Applications
This compound holds great potential in the fields of biochemistry and materials science, particularly in the creation of targeted drug carriers, modification of biomolecules, and the fabrication of advanced biomaterials.
