m-PEG(5K)-PLL(3K) is a linear amphiphilic block copolymer comprised of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Poly(L-Lysine) (PLL). The hydrophilic PEG increases solubility in aqueous media. Upon dispersion in water, the polymer self-assembles to form micelles with a PLL core and PEG shell. The core can be used as reservoir for hydrophobic drugs, while the shell can provide protection from degradation (enzymatic/hydrolysis). Each amine group is reactive with carboxylic acids, activated NHS esters, carbonyls (ketone, aldehyde), etc. Reagent grade, for research use only.
