Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-YIGSR peptide, also known as YIGSR-PEG-chitosan, is a research-oriented conjugate synthesized by functionalizing chitosan—a natural glycan derived from chitin—with a 550 Da polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer and the groupYIGSR. This hybrid structure leverages chitosan’s mucoadhesive properties, PEG’s hydrophilicity and molecular stealth effects, and YIGSR’s functionality.
