Description

n-Decyl-A-D-Maltopyranoside, Anagrade is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl glycoside family, specifically a decyl maltoside derivative. This compound is valued for its effective detergent properties, high critical micelle concentration (CMC), and excellent ability to solubilize membrane proteins while maintaining their native structure and function. It is an essential reagent for researchers and manufacturers in structural biology, pharmaceutical development, and advanced biochemical applications requiring mild, non-denaturing detergents.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization & Crystallization: A key detergent for extracting, stabilizing, and crystallizing integral membrane proteins for X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM studies.
• Biochemical Research & Assay Development: Used in buffer systems for enzyme assays, receptor-ligand binding studies, and other sensitive biochemical experiments where protein integrity is critical.
• Pharmaceutical Formulation: Employed as a stabilizing excipient in the development of biotherapeutic drugs, including monoclonal antibodies and other protein-based therapeutics.
• Chromatography: Serves as a mobile phase additive or column conditioning agent in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and other purification techniques for biomolecules.
• Cell Lysis & Organelle Isolation: Provides gentle yet effective disruption of cellular membranes for the isolation of functional organelles and protein complexes.
• Virosome & Liposome Preparation: Utilized in the reconstitution of membrane proteins into lipid bilayers for drug delivery systems and synthetic biology applications.
