Octyl-ß-D-Glucopyranoside

Octy1-ß-D-glucopyranoside has excellent and gentle solubilizing properties and is therefore best suited for investigation of biological membranes.
Due to its small molecular weight and its relatively high CMC, it can easily be removed from solubilizates by dialysis or gel filtration.

Octyl-ß-D-glucopyranoside solubilizes numerous functional proteins like receptors and membrane-bound enzymes. The solubilization of the thylakoid membrane of higher plants whilst maintaining the energy transfer from chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a is only one of many applications.
Octyl-ß-D-glucopyranoside has been succcessfully used for the functional reconstitution of membrane proteins like peptide receptors, ATPases and ion channel complexes.
OG is also used for chromatographic and electrophoretic separation of proteins; furthermore for crystallization of proteins (e.g. tumor necrosis factor) and for investigation on protein-lipid interactions.
