Description

n-Undecyl-B-D-Thiomaltoside is a high-purity, non-ionic thioglycoside surfactant derived from maltose. This specialized compound is valued for its ability to solubilize and stabilize membrane proteins without denaturation, making it a critical reagent in structural biology and biochemistry. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in protein crystallization, membrane protein extraction, and biophysical analysis.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization: Essential for extracting and stabilizing integral membrane proteins from lipid bilayers for structural studies.
• Protein Crystallization: Used as a detergent in crystallization screens to facilitate the formation of high-quality protein crystals for X-ray diffraction.
• Biophysical Characterization: Employed in techniques such as Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to maintain protein native state.
• Lipid Nanodisc Formation: Acts as a tool for reconstituting membrane proteins into native-like lipid environments for functional assays.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in drug discovery pipelines targeting membrane-bound receptors and transporters.
• Reference Standard: Serves as an analytical standard in quality control for biochemical reagent production.
