چکیده

The synthesis and evaluation of a new detergent that is a zwitterionic derivative of cholic acid is presented. This detergent combines the useful properties of both the sulfobetaine-type detergents and the bile salt anions. The new detergent proved to be effective at solubilizing membrane proteins in a nondenatured state.

Thermodynamic investigation of micellization of zwitterionic detergent CHAPS: temperature, salt and pH dependence

The zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonium]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), derivative of naturally occurring bile salts, is widely used in biochemistry for membrane protein and receptor solubilization and purification. Since the efficiency of protein stabilization is known to be highly related to the detergent concentration, it is very important for the researcher to predic...

fonate (CHAPS) is a zwitterionic detergent that was specifically designed for membrane biochemistry. It is known to be a mild, nondenaturing detergent and is a derivative of natural bile salts. Its properties are of interest in several biochemical applications. These include the perturbation of membrane structures, membrane protein solubilization and functional reconstitution, and preparation o...

Specific Lipid Binding of Membrane Proteins in Detergent Micelles Characterized by NMR and Molecular Dynamics.

Many membrane proteins bind specifically to lipids as an integral component of their structures. The ability of detergents to support lipid binding is thus an important consideration when solubilizing membrane proteins for structural studies. In particular, the zwitterionic phosphocholine (PC)-based detergents, which have been widely used in solution NMR studies of channels and transporters, ar...

Use of zwitterionic type of detergent in isolation of Escherichia coli O56 outer membrane proteins improves their two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE).

Escherichia coli O56 were originally isolated from infected humans. Here it is reported that using the zwitterionic detergent (Zwittergent Z 3-14) to isolate outer membrane proteins (OMPs) from Escherichia coli O56 is suitable for their separation by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) using pH 3-10 immobilized pH gradient IPG strips (BIO-RAD).

The membrane modulates internal proton transfer in cytochrome c oxidase.

The functionality of membrane proteins is often modulated by the surrounding membrane. Here, we investigated the effect of membrane reconstitution of purified cytochrome c oxidase (CytcO) on the kinetics and thermodynamics of internal electron and proton-transfer reactions during O(2) reduction. Reconstitution of the detergent-solubilized enzyme in small unilamellar soybean phosphatidylcholine ...
