The invention provides amphiphiles for manipulating membrane proteins. The amphiphiles can feature carbohydrate-derived hydrophilic groups and branchpoints in the hydrophilic moiety and/or in a lipophilic moiety. Such amphiphiles are useful as detergents for solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins, including photosynthetic protein superassemblies obtained from bacterial membranes.
该发明提供了用于操纵膜蛋白的两性分子。这些两性分子可以具有碳水化合物衍生的亲水基团以及在亲水部分和/或疏水部分中的分支点。这种两性分子可用作溶解和稳定膜蛋白的洗涤剂,包括从细菌膜中获得的光合蛋白超组装体。
