Decyl Maltoside by Affymetrix Anatrace Products

Decyl Maltoside is one of the most commonly used detergents for membrane protein purification and structure determination. The detergent has been well characterized in its usefulness for extracting and solubilizing/stabilizing membrane proteins in aqueous environments. Decyl Maltoside is also often the first choice for crystallizing proteins. Chemically, Decyl Maltoside is a mild nonionic detergent comprised of a sugar based hydrophilic head and a long aliphatic hydrophobic tail.

Additionally, customers prefer to also use Octyl Glucoside, Dodecyl Maltoside and The NG Class Detergents as their first choice for detergents.
