Description
General Description
Poly(L-Ornithine)-PEG-N3 is a multifunctional polypeptide copolymer designed for advanced bioconjugation and drug delivery applications. The poly(L-ornithine) backbone contains multiple primary amine groups that readily complex DNA, mRNA, siRNA, proteins, and other negatively charged biomolecules through electrostatic interactions.
PEG grafting improves aqueous solubility, reduces nonspecific protein adsorption, enhances colloidal stability, and decreases the cytotoxicity commonly associated with highly cationic polymers. The terminal azide groups enable efficient copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) for attachment of antibodies, peptides, fluorophores, targeting ligands, nanoparticles, and imaging probes.
Poly(L-Ornithine)-PEG-N3 is widely employed in gene delivery systems, nanoparticle functionalization, hydrogel preparation, tissue engineering, molecular imaging, and advanced biomaterials development.
