Zwitterionic detergents that protect the native state of proteins.
Applications
- Solubilizing the opiate receptor from rat brain cell membranes, while retaining the reversible opiate binding property of the receptor1
- Purifying microsomal signal peptidase as a complex2
- Solubilizing dopamine D2,3, muscarinic4, and opiate receptors5 from brain tissue
Highlights
- Able to disrupt nonspecific protein interactions
- Less protein aggregation than nonionic detergents
- Electrically neutral and nondenaturing
- Easily removed by dialysis
