Properties
Description
PEI(5k)-PEG(5k)-PEI(5k) is a linear amphiphilic block copolymer comprised of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the center and poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) at the ends. The hydrophilic PEG increases solubility in aqueous media.
Molecular Weight
PEI(5 kDa), PEG(5 kDa), PEI(5 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PEI(5k)-PEG(5k)-PEI(5k) can be used to enhance the transfection efficiency of nucleic acids by forming stable nanoparticles that protect and deliver nucleic acids into cells.
