Speciality Detergents
e category of specialized detergents encompasses a diverse array of formulations designed to address specific challenges in membrane protein research. Fluorinated detergents, for example, introduce fluorine atoms to enhance hydrophobicity and resist aggregation. Deuterated detergents, on the other hand, incorporate deuterium for specific experimental purposes. Lipidic cubic phase (LCP) detergents are tailored for membrane protein crystallization in lipid mesophases. Selenium-based detergents leverage the unique properties of selenium for specific applications. Spin label detergents introduce paramagnetic centers for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies. Each of these specialized detergents serves a distinct purpose, offering researchers a toolkit to address the intricacies of membrane protein studies.
