Description
PLLA(4k)-PEG(5k)-SPDP contains a PLLA segment of 4 kDa connected to a PEG segment of 5 kDa, and terminates with a succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP) group. The SPDP group is thiol-reactive and forms covalent bonds with thiol groups.
Applications
PLLA(4k)-PEG(5k)-SPDP can be used to enhance the solubility and biocompatibility of PLLA-based materials, making them suitable for active molecule delivery systems and tissue engineering applications.
