mPEG-Acrylate

Methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-acrylate (mPEG-Acrylate) is a monofunctional precision PEG derivative with a defined chain length. One end bears a methoxy group. The other end bears an acrylate group. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. The acrylate double bond can participate in radical polymerization or suitable thiol addition reactions to introduce a polymerizable PEG segment. Capping one end defines the direction of derivatization, enabling the hydrophilic PEG segment to be attached to a target molecule and functional linkers of the required length to be constructed.
