Hi Harsh, Just try a slightly longer PEG molecule: PGE (in PDB nomenclature). That's the version with 3 glycol units. Others are (in order of increasing size) PG4, 1PE, P6G, P33, PE8, 2PE, XPE, 12P, 33O, and P3E. This list comes from a paper that shows that PEG can go to all sorts of nasty sites: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/pro.2923 (yes, that is a bit of a plug).
