Features and Benefits

Fmoc-N-amido-dPEG8-acid is a monodisperse PEG product that is useful for peptide synthesis. The 28-atom dPEG spacer allows the introduction of a medium-length, hydrophilic spacer onto either end of a peptide chain or between two peptide chains. The flexible dPEG spacer conjugates to peptides using conventional peptide synthesis chemistry. Peptide PEGylation imparts water solubility to hydrophobic peptide chains. Also, PEGylated peptides have expanded hydrodynamic volumes, which can reduce or eliminate renal clearance, and are protected from proteolysis. The combination of decreased renal clearance and protection from proteolysis contributes to longer in vivo circulation times for PEGylated (as compared to non-PEGylated) peptides. Additionally, PEGylation diminishes a peptide′s antigenicity. This product is part of the Fmoc-N-amido-dPEGn-acid (n=2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36) product series.

Robust methods for highly parallel, quantitative analysis of cellular protein tyrosine kinase activities may provide tools critically needed to decipher oncogenic signaling, discover new targeted drugs, diagnose cancer and monitor patients. Here, we describe proof-of-principle for a novel protein kinase

Drug delivery by intravitreal injection remains problematic, small agents and macromolecules both clearing rapidly. Typical carriers use microparticles (>2 μm), with size-related liabilities, to slow diffusion. We recently described cationic nanoparticles (NP) where conjugated Arg peptides prolonged residence in rat

Ligand-targeted nanoparticles are emerging drug delivery vehicles for cancer therapy. Here, we demonstrate that the cellular uptake of peptide-targeted liposomes and micelles can be significantly enhanced by increasing the hydrophilicity of the targeting peptide sequence while simultaneously optimizing the EG

The remarkable diversity of the self-assembly behavior of PEG-peptides is reviewed, including self-assemblies formed by PEG-peptides with β-sheet and α-helical (coiled-coil) peptide sequences. The modes of self-assembly in solution and in the solid state are discussed. Additionally, applications in bionanotechnology
