Application

Poly(ethylene glycol) was used as hydrophilic carriers for characterizing the sirolimus solid dispersion nanoparticles.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a condensation polymer of ethylene oxide and water. It enhances the refolding of extracted proteins. This enables characterization of crystallized proteins.

Preparation Note

Poly(ethylene glycol) dissolves in many organic solvents and is readily soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons. It also slightly dissolves in aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) inhibited aggregation during refolding of bovine carbonic anhydrase B (CAB) through the formation of a nonassociating PEG-intermediate complex. Stoichiometric concentrations of PEG were required for complete recovery of active protein during refolding at aggregating conditions. For example

Previous studies on the refolding of recombinant bovine carbonic anhydrase B (CAB) indicated that polyethylene glycol (PEG) significantly enhanced the recovery of active protein by reducing aggregation. To further test the ability of PEG to enhance refolding, three recombinant human

The pericellular matrix (PCM) surrounding chondrocytes is thought to play an important role in transmitting biochemical and biomechanical signals to the cells, which regulates many cellular functions including tissue homeostasis. To better understand chondrocytes interactions with their PCM, three-dimensional poly(ethylene
