Thermo Scientific Octyl-beta-Glucoside is a nonionic detergent that has been widely used for membrane protein solubilization.
Highlights:
- A low-molecular weight, nonionic detergent
- Effective for membrane protein solubilization
- Less stable and less commonly used than octylthioglucoside (OTG)
- Can be removed from solution by dialysis
- Optically clear; low absorbance at 280nm
