Hediye Erdjument-Bromage

Hi Nerea,

You should be able to use alpha cyano hydroxycinnamic acid (ACCA) with the polymer PEG. See attached.

Nerea Cuevas Polo

Thank you very much Hediye, very helpful!

Gedda Gangaraju

Hi Nerea

As Hediye Erdjument-Bromage suggested to you alpha cyano hydroxycinnamic acid , it is good matrix for PEG.

However if the molecular weight of your compound is higH, you can also try sinapic acid.

Great! Thank you Gedda
