DSPE-PEG36-CH2CH2COOH is a monodisperse PEG-phospholipid that self-assembles into micelles or lipid bilayers in aqueous environments. Its terminal carboxylic acid group enables covalent attachment to primary or secondary amines via stable amide bond formation when activated by coupling agents such as EDC or HATU. The extended PEG36 chain enhances hydrophilicity and steric stability, making this molecule especially useful in the design of targeted nanotherapeutics, including drug delivery systems and functionalized liposomes.
