Description

2,3-Diphytanyl-Sn-Glycero-1-Phospho-3'-Sn-Glycerol is a synthetic archaeal membrane lipid analog, specifically a diether phospholipid. This compound is crucial for research into the unique biophysical properties and stability of archaeal cell membranes, which are adapted to extreme environments. It is primarily needed by researchers in biophysics, synthetic biology, and pharmaceutical development for creating model membrane systems and studying membrane-protein interactions.

Application

• Model Membrane Research: Formation of archaeosome-like liposomes to study membrane stability, permeability, and phase behavior under extreme conditions.
• Drug Delivery Systems: A key component in the development of novel liposomal carriers (archaeosomes) for enhanced drug stability and targeted delivery.
• Biophysical Studies: Investigating the structure and dynamics of lipid bilayers that mimic those found in extremophilic Archaea.
• Enzyme Function Studies: Reconstitution of membrane-associated enzymes in a native-like lipid environment to study activity and kinetics.
• Synthetic Biology: Building artificial cells or membrane compartments with improved chemical and thermal resistance.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for lipidomics and biochemical research.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) due to its hygroscopic and potentially light-sensitive nature. For long-term storage, desiccate. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
