Description
General Description
DMG-PEG-N₃ is a reactive PEGylated lipid conjugate containing dimyristoyl glyceride (DMG, C14:0), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and a terminal azide functional group. The azide functionality enables highly selective click chemistry reactions with alkyne-containing molecules for bioconjugation and nanoparticle surface engineering applications.
