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.
PEGylation involves covalently attaching PEG molecules to protein for example, typically at specific functional groups (e.g., lysine residues or N-terminal amines). The degree of PEGylation (number of PEG molecules per protein molecule) or the total mass of PEG attached must be quantified.
Metal-Organic Frameworks – The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025, for the development of metal–organic frameworks.
PEGylated Metal-Organic Frameworks
Abstract Maleimides are essential compounds for drug conjugation reactions via thiols to antibodies, peptides and other targeting units. However, one main drawback is the occurrence of thiol exchange reactions with, for example, glutathione resulting in loss of the targeting ability. A new strategy to overcome such retro-Michael exchange processes of maleimide–thiol conjugates by stabilization of […]

Pegfilgrastim is a PEGylated form of the recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor analog filgrastim. It serves to stimulate the level of white blood cells. Pegfilgrastim has a human half-life of 15 to 80 hours, much longer than the parent filgrastim (3–4 hours).
