Description

Decyl-β-D-1-Thioglucopyranoside is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl thioglycoside class. This compound is valued for its effective detergent and membrane-solubilizing properties while maintaining mildness and biocompatibility. It is primarily utilized in biochemical research and pharmaceutical development for protein purification, membrane protein studies, and as a critical reagent in diagnostic formulations.

Application

• Membrane Protein Solubilization & Purification: A key detergent for extracting and stabilizing integral membrane proteins for structural and functional analysis.
• Biochemical Research Reagent: Used in buffer systems for cell lysis, protein isolation, and chromatography where mild, non-denaturing conditions are required.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Serves as a solubilizing agent or stabilizer in advanced drug delivery systems and injectable formulations.
• Diagnostic Assay Component: Employed in immunoassay and diagnostic kit buffers to maintain protein conformation and activity.
• Liposome & Micelle Preparation: Facilitates the formation of lipid vesicles and micellar structures for drug encapsulation and model membrane studies.
• Crystallography: Used to prepare membrane protein samples for X-ray crystallography by creating stable protein-detergent complexes.
