Polydispersity
A distribution of molecular masses rather than a single value. Characteristic of synthetic polymers and therefore of PEG conjugates.
Related terms
- PEGylation
- Covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol. The polymer is polydisperse, so a PEGylated peptide has no single mass and no meaningful single purity figure.
