Application
Poly(ethylene glycol) was used as hydrophilic carriers for characterizing the sirolimus solid dispersion nanoparticles.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a condensation polymer of ethylene oxide and water. It enhances the refolding of extracted proteins. This enables characterization of crystallized proteins.
Preparation Note
Poly(ethylene glycol) dissolves in many organic solvents and is readily soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons. It also slightly dissolves in aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) inhibited aggregation during refolding of bovine carbonic anhydrase B (CAB) through the formation of a nonassociating PEG-intermediate complex. Stoichiometric concentrations of PEG were required for complete recovery of active protein during refolding at aggregating conditions. For example
