n-Dodecyl β-D-Maltoside(CAT: R063766) is a nonionic detergent commonly used in biochemical and structural biology research for the solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins. It consists of a maltose sugar head group linked to a 12-carbon alkyl chain (dodecyl), making it effective in maintaining the native conformation of proteins during extraction and purification processes. This detergent is particularly valuable in studies involving crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and electron microscopy, where maintaining protein integrity is essential. n-Dodecyl β-D-Maltoside is known for its mild nature, offering excellent protein solubilization without denaturing them, making it a key tool in membrane protein research.
