Properties
Description
PLLA(3k)-PEG(8k)-PLLA(3k) features a PLLA segment of 3kDa, followed by a significantly longer PEG segment of 8kDa, and another PLLA segment of 3kDa. The longer PEG chain enhances solubility and reduce immunogenicity.
Molecular Weight
PLLA(3 kDa), PEG(8 kDa), PLLA(3 kDa)
Identity
Confirmed by NMR.
Applications
PLLA(3k)-PEG(8k)-PLLA(3k) self-assembles in the aqueous phase to form micelles or nanoparticles, where PLLA constitutes the hydrophobic core for encapsulating hydrophobic molecules.
