Description

Finally and by popular demand! The arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) terminus of this thiol promotes cell adhesion by binding to cell surface integrin receptors. Use this product to immobilize various types of cells onto SAMs. To prevent non-specific adsorption, this thiol can be used in conjunction with our EG products (TH 001) providing a non-adhesive background in the mixed SAMs. To learn more about this versatile molecule see J.
