Thermo Scientific™ CHAPS Detergent (3-((3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonate)
Non-denaturing Zwitterionic detergents that disrupt nonspecific protein interactions with less protein aggregation than nonionic detergents.
Supplier: Thermo Scientific™ 28299
Description
Thermo Scientific™ CHAPS is a zwitterionic detergent that is especially well suited for protecting the native state of proteins.
CHAPS is a sulfobetaine derivatives of cholic acid. This zwitterionic detergent is useful for membrane protein solubilization when it is important to maintain protein activity. CHAPS detergent is soluble over a wide range of pH (2 to 12) and are easily removed from solution by dialysis because of their high critical micelle concentration (CMC).
Highlights:
- Versatile zwitterionic detergents
- Provide mild but effective lysis of cultured mammalian cells
- Nondenaturing and generally do not inactivate protein functions
- Can be removed from solution by dialysis
- Commonly used for isoelectric focusing (IEF) and 2D electrophoresis
