The present invention relates to a vitamin E-based amphipathic compound, a method for producing same, and a method for extracting, solubilizing, stabilizing, or crystallizing a membrane protein using same. By using a compound according to the present invention, not only is an excellent membrane protein extraction and solubilization effect achieved, but the membrane protein can be stably stored for a long period of time in an aqueous solution, and thus the compound can be utilized in analyzing the function and structure of the membrane protein. Moreover, the vitamin E-based amphipathic compounds exhibited superb properties in the visualization of protein compounds through an electron microscope. Membrane protein structure and function analysis is one of the fields of greatest interest in biology and chemistry today, and since at least half of new drugs currently being developed target membrane proteins, the vitamin E-based amphipathic compounds may be applied to the membrane protein structure research, which is closely related to the development of new drugs.
本发明涉及一种基于维生素E的两性分子化合物,以及制备该化合物的方法,以及利用该化合物提取、溶解、稳定或结晶膜蛋白的方法。通过使用本发明的化合物,不仅可以实现出色的膜蛋白提取和溶解效果,而且膜蛋白可以在水溶液中稳定存储长时间,因此该化合物可用于分析膜蛋白的功能和结构。此外,基于维生素E的两性分子化合物在通过电子显微镜可视化蛋白化合物方面表现出卓越性能。膜蛋白结构和功能分析是当今生物学和化学领域最感兴趣的领域之一,由于目前至少一半正在开发的新药物针对膜蛋白,因此基于维生素E的两性分子化合物可能被应用于与新药物开发密切相关的膜蛋白结构研究中。
