Polyester bis-MPA dendron, 32 hydroxyl, 1 amine , generation 5, 95%

Polyester dendritic structures which are based on 2,2-bismethylolpropionic acid (bis-MPA) monomer are highly branched and can be end functionalized with a wide range of functional groups. They are widely used in biosensors, optics, adhesives and coatings. The hydroxyl and amine end surface groups increase the biocompatibility and the scaffolding ability of these dendritic polymers.†

Amine dendrons can be covalently attached through conjugation to carboxyl groups, primary amines, or sulfhydryl groups. Amines can also attach to oxidized carbohydrate groups (usually aldehydes) by reductive amination.
