Description

Octyl 2-(Acetylamino)-2-Deoxy-4-o-β-D-Galactopyranosyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a high-purity, synthetic glycoside derivative specifically designed for advanced biochemical and pharmaceutical research. This compound serves as a critical non-ionic detergent and a specialized biochemical tool for the solubilization, stabilization, and study of membrane proteins and complex carbohydrates. It is essential for researchers and process developers in glycobiology, structural biology, and biopharmaceutical formulation, where precise control over molecular interactions is paramount.

Application

• Membrane Protein Research: Used as a mild, non-denaturing detergent for the extraction, purification, and crystallization of integral membrane proteins.
• Glycobiology Studies: Serves as a substrate analog or inhibitor in enzymatic assays for glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, and other carbohydrate-active enzymes.
• Biopharmaceutical Development: Employed in the formulation and stabilization of therapeutic proteins, vaccines, and other biologics that are sensitive to aggregation.
• Lipid Raft and Micelle Studies: Acts as a tool compound for investigating the structure and function of lipid rafts and for creating defined micellar systems.
• Chromatography: Can be used as a mobile phase additive or stationary phase modifier in HPLC and other chromatographic techniques for separating complex biomolecules.
• Cell Culture & Lysis: Applied in gentle cell lysis protocols to maintain the native state of intracellular membrane-bound complexes.
