Product Description:
Polymer Factory's BowtieD® bis-MPA dendrimers are monodisperse, bifunctional scaffolds with an exact number of boc-protected amine and acetylene groups at the periphery. After deprotection, the amine surface groups can be used for EDC/DCC coupling or coupling to NHS esters, while the acetylene groups can be used for further functionalization via highly efficient click chemistry (e.g. CuAAC, Thiol-Yne) to furnish a bifunctional molecules with two modes of activity. Our bis-MPA polyester scaffolds are biodegrable and have low cytotoxicity, making them ideal candidates for use in biological research applications.
