General description

Acyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA) detergents are non-ionic detergents that provide a good starting point for your structural biology work. The hydrophilic head groups offer ample strength to extract proteins while still providing the capability to stabilize proteins in solution and promote crystal growth.
MEGA-8 is a neutral surfactant.

The analysis of hydrophobic membrane proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis has long been hampered by the concept of inherent difficulty due to solubility issues. We have optimized extraction protocols by varying the detergent composition of the solubilization buffer with a

We studied the extraction and analysis of integral membrane proteins possessing hydrophobic and hydrophilic domains and found that a nonionic detergent called MEGA-10, used in lysis buffers, had a superior extraction effect compared to most conventional detergents. A sodium dodecyl

The mixed micellization between the nonionic surfactant decanoyl-N-methylglucamide (MEGA-10) and the common sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in aqueous solutions of 0.1 M NaCl was investigated by the fluorescence probe method. The critical micelle concentrations were determined by the pyrene 1:3

N-d-Gluco-N-methylalkanamide detergents have been synthesized. The detergents, which were produced in high yield and at low cost, compared favourably in biochemical studies with commonly used non-ionic detergents, including a chemically related n-alkyl glucoside. The ease of removal by dialysis, high
