TCO-PEG-DMG

Trans-cyclooctene-poly(ethylene glycol)-Dimyristoylglycerol (TCO-PEG-DMG) is an amphiphilic PEG lipid combining a dimyristoylglycerol anchor with a defined-length hydrophilic PEG segment. Discrete chain lengths with different degrees of polymerization are available. Trans-cyclooctene can pair with tetrazines in inverse-electron-demand Diels–Alder reactions for assembly of bioorthogonal modules. It can be used to construct interfaces in membrane-related systems and nanoparticle formulations, enabling comparisons of anchoring structure, hydrophilic chain length, terminal functionality, and formulation dispersion.
