Description

Cymal-7 Sol Grade is a high-purity, non-ionic detergent specifically designed for the solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins in biochemical research. Its value lies in its ability to effectively extract and maintain the native structure and function of integral membrane proteins without causing denaturation. This product is essential for researchers and process developers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life sciences industries who require reliable reagents for structural biology, drug discovery, and proteomics applications.

Application

• Solubilization of integral membrane proteins for structural and functional studies.
• Stabilization of membrane protein complexes during purification and analysis.
• Preparation of samples for techniques such as X-ray crystallography, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
• Use in the reconstitution of membrane proteins into lipid bilayers or nanodiscs.
• Component of lysis buffers for the extraction of membrane-bound targets in drug discovery assays.
• Facilitation of protein-protein interaction studies involving membrane-associated complexes.
• Supporting research in GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) biology and ion channel characterization.
