## Abstract The regulation of cell motility on ligandβadsorbed poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)βbased polymeric biomaterials is governed by variables that are not well characterized. In this report, we examined keratinocyte migratory responsiveness to PEGβvariant tyrosineβderived polycarbonates adsorbed

β¦ Synopsis
A method is described for the quantitative determination of poly(ethylene glycol) having an average molecular weight of 3400. The method is based on a measurement of the intensity of light which is scattered by the turbid suspension produced by addition of the polymer to Nessler's solution. Small amounts of plasma proteins (0.001 mg/ml) drastically diminished the turbidity. This interference can be eliminated by prior adsorption of the protein on Al(OH), gel.
' PEG = poly(ethylene glycol), poly(ethylene oxide), polyoxy-ethylene. Chemical formula: HOCH,CH,-(CH,CH,O),CH,CH,OH.
PEG-4000 signifies a heterogeneous mixture having an average molecular weight of 4000.
