Calculating the Contour Length and Hydrodynamic Radius of Polyethylene Glycol in Aqueous Solutions

This post outlines the fundamental methods for calculating the contour length—the maximum extended chain dimension—and the hydrodynamic radius, which characterizes the effective size of the solvated coil. These calculations rely on established polymer physics and empirical relations from experimental data.

Bifunctional Multi-Arm PEG Products

Our Multi-Arm PEG Products 4-Arm PEG-X/Y Bifunctional 4-Arm PEG reagents have two functional groups X/Y with 1:3 ratio or 2:2 ratio. We started offering this series of special reagents as customs synthesis with the following combinations. We are also listing some of these reagents as regular catalog products that are ready to ship overnight. We […]

Is Your Maleimide Thiol Chemistry Stable?

The typical PEG-maleimide-thiol reaction results in thiosuccinimide formation which is reversible, with PEG-maleimide elimination occurring slowly under biologically relevant conditions. The reversed reaction leads to the breakage of the maleimide-thiol linkage and the loss of PEG from the thiol/cysteine-containing molecules. If the maleimide-thiol chemistry does not work for your application, you may consider alternatives with […]
