Product Description: DSPE-PEG-Amine, MW 10000 (ammonium) is a phosphoethanolamine involved in the synthesis of liposomes for delivery systems. The amino group of DSPE-PEG-Amine, MW 10000 (ammonium) can be converted into aromatic aldehydes by reacting with acetone-protected aromatic hydrazines on the surface of bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA) molecules. Liposomes form a liposome-BAH-BCA conjugate by forming a bisarylhydrazone (BAH) with the target enzyme molecule. The conjugate catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate.
