Product Description
Alkyne terminated poly-L-lysine hydrochloride or Poly-L-lysine hydrochloride alkyne (PLL-Alkyne) is a positively charged synthetic polyamino acid having one HCl per lysine unit and alkyne group on the N-terminal. It is a crystalline solid soluble in water. Applications for poly-L-lysine hydrobromide include the promotion of cell adhesion to solid substrates for culture dishes or slides, the conjugation to active molecules for improved activities, the layer-by-layer deposition techniques, and the complexation with nucleic acids for gene expression.
Alkyne-terminated polymers were used to react azide group “click” chemistry in mild condition, which is very useful for bioconjugation.
