Usage

General Description

Mercaptopolyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (PEG-thiol) is a chemical compound that consists of a PEG backbone with a thiol group attached. PEG-thiol is commonly used in the field of bioconjugation and biofunctionalization, where the thiol group can be readily coupled to other molecules such as proteins, peptides, or nanoparticles. This allows for the modification of the surface properties of these biomolecules and nanoparticles for various applications, such as drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostics. PEG-thiol can also be used to create hydrogels and polymers with tunable mechanical and chemical properties, making it a versatile and valuable chemical in the field of materials science and biomedical research.
