Poly-L-γ-glutamic acid (sodium)

Poly-L-γ-glutamic acid sodium is a high molecular weight polymer composed of glutamic acid linked by γ-amino and carboxyl groups to form peptide bonds. Poly-L-γ-glutamic acid sodium protects bacteria from bacteriophage infection. Poly-L-γ-glutamic acid sodium plays an important role as a carrier material in compound delivery systems[1][2].
