Description

Octylb-D-Mannopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic alkyl glycoside surfactant derived from mannose. This compound is valued for its ability to solubilize membrane proteins while maintaining their native structure and function, making it a critical reagent in structural biology and biochemistry research. It is essential for scientists and manufacturers in the biopharmaceutical and life science sectors who require reliable, high-quality detergents for protein extraction, purification, and crystallization studies.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization: A key detergent for extracting and stabilizing integral membrane proteins for biochemical and biophysical analysis.
• Protein Crystallography: Used in the purification and crystallization of membrane proteins to facilitate 3D structure determination.
• Biophysical Studies: Employed in techniques such as NMR spectroscopy and electron microscopy to maintain protein integrity in solution.
• Vaccine and Therapeutic Development: Serves as a mild surfactant in formulation studies for protein-based biologics and lipid nanoparticle systems.
• Cell Lysis Buffers: A component of gentle lysis buffers for isolating functional membrane protein complexes from cells.
• Chromatography: Used in mobile phases to prevent protein aggregation during size-exclusion or affinity chromatography purification steps.
