Product Description:
Poly-L-glutamic acid is a synthetic polyamino acid having one COOH function per glutamic acid unit. It is a solid unsoluble in water. Applications for poly-L-glutamic acid include the conjugation to active molecules for improved activities and the layer-by-layer deposition techniques for surface coating.
Our scientists, having more than 15 years experience in the synthesis of polyamino acids, have developed a polymerization process that enables us to have complete control over the molecular weight of our polyamino acids without the use of metal catalysts. Furthermore, not only does the process enable us to achieve exact chain lengths but also highly monodisperse products (polydispersity index: 1.01-1.2) and batch-to-batch consistency.
