pAsp-PEG-N3

Description

Poly(L-Aspartic acid)-PEG-Azide (pAsp-PEG-N3) is a linear amphiphilic block copolymer (ABC) which has poly(L-Aspartic acid) as the hydrophobic section and azide-functionalized PEG as the hydrophilic section. ABC can self assemble into micelles. P(L-Asp)-PEG-N3 has reactive groups on both sections, i.e. the the pendant free -COOH on P(L-Asp) can be used to modify micelle core and -N3 group on PEG can be used to modify micelle shelll by click chemistry.
