Handling Instructions Technical Support

mPEG5000-Mal (mPEG5000-Maleimide) is a PEG-derived selective covalent binding agent for sulfhydryl groups (RSGs), which can form irreversible thioether bonds with sulfhydryl groups under near-neutral conditions via the maleimide group. The mechanism of action of mPEG5000-Mal can be divided into two categories: firstly, as an enzyme modifier, it binds to target proteins through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals forces, altering the protein's secondary structure; secondly, as a nanoparticle surface modifier, it covalently binds to sulfhydryl groups on the surface of red blood cells, changing the surface properties and morphology of the red blood cells, leading to their phagocytosis by macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system. mPEG5000-Mal can react with free cysteine in proteins, increasing the apparent molecular weight of the modified protein by 10-15 kDa for detection purposes. mPEG5000-Mal can enhance the thermal stability and catalytic activity of enzymes, and improve the macrophage targeting of nanoparticles, enabling targeted drug delivery. mPEG5000-Mal can be applied in enzyme engineering research in the food industry and in oncology, assisting radiotherapy by inhibiting tumor-associated macrophage infiltration and enhancing anti-tumor immune responses.

In Vitro

The effects of mPEG-Mal (MW 5000) on the secondary structure and catalytic activity of SPA can be studied[1].
mPEG-Mal (MW 5000) stabilizes the secondary structure of SPA through structural reconstruction. Circular dichroism analysis showed that it converts the random coil structure in SPA into α-helix and β-sheet structures, with a 3% increase in α-helix content and a 6% increase in β-sheet content, and a 9% decrease in random coil content; infrared spectroscopy showed that the characteristic absorption bands of amide A, amide I, and amide II of the modified SPA showed wavenumber shifts, and the vibration energy of some groups increased, indicating that the functional groups of the enzyme protein are more stable and the secondary structure folding is tighter[1].
mPEG-Mal (MW 5000) significantly improves the catalytic activity and thermal stability-related activity persistence of SPA. The catalytic activity of the modified SPA increased by 24.06%, and the half-life of the enzyme was extended by 42.55%, 54.68%, and 62.27% at 50°C, 55°C, and 60°C, respectively; and it reduced the damage to the enzyme structure caused by the environment, thus maintaining high catalytic activity[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL; Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL; Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
