DSPE-PEG4-Maleimide is a PEG linker with a maleimide group and a hydrophilic phosphate head with hydrophobic lipid tails. The polymer can self-assemble to form lipid bilayer in water. The phospholipid polyPEG can be used as a drug nanocarrier for administration of nutrients and therapeutic drugs, such as liposome in mRNA or DNA vaccines. The maleimide group will react with a thiol group to form a covalent bond. Reagent grade, for research use only.
