n-Dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside (high purity)

Water-soluble non-ionic detergent with a hydrophilic maltose head and a hydrophobic long chain alkyl tail. It is considered a gentle detergent that is more efficient than other detergents. For functional solubilization and purification of membrane proteins. It helps to retain the native conformation and activity of membrane-associated proteins and facilitates the reforming of these proteins after denaturation. For the stabilization and activation of enzymes. The critical micelle concentration of DDM is approx. 0.18 mM in water, decreases in the presence of sodium chloride or sucrose and increases in urea.
