Dextran Thiol - Items tagged as "Thiol"

Dextran functionalized with thiol groups (dextran-SH) is capable of participating in various chemical reactions, including thiol-Michael addition, disulfide exchange, or thiol-ene/yne reactions. These reaction pathways facilitate the synthesis of hydrogels or bioconjugates, which are extensively employed in applications such as three-dimensional cell encapsulation and targeted drug delivery systems.
