A newly developed butane-tetraol-based amphiphilic compound, a method of preparing the same, and a method of extracting, solubilizing, stabilizing, crystallizing or analyzing a membrane protein using the amphiphilic compound are provided. The butane-tetraol-based compound is found to have a central structure exhibiting chirality, and isomers of the compound have clearly different characteristics according to the stereochemistry of the central structure, thereby making it possible to select compounds suitable for the uses thereof. Also, the compound can be used to effectively extract a membrane protein, which has more various structures and characteristics than conventional compounds, from cell membranes and stably store the membrane protein in an aqueous solution for a long time, and thus analyze the function and structure of the membrane protein. The analysis of the structure and function of the membrane protein is one of the fields which have received the most attention in biology and chemistry since the analysis of the structure and function of the membrane protein is closely associated with the development of new drugs.
本发明提供了一种新开发的基于丁烷四醇的两性分子化合物,其制备方法,以及使用该两性分子化合物提取、溶解、稳定、结晶或分析膜蛋白的方法。发现基于丁烷四醇的化合物具有展现手性的中心结构,化合物的异构体根据中心结构的立体化学具有明显不同的特性,从而使得选择适合其用途的化合物成为可能。此外,该化合物可以有效地从细胞膜中提取膜蛋白,这些膜蛋白具有比传统化合物更多样化的结构和特性,并在水溶液中稳定存储膜蛋白长时间,因此可以分析膜蛋白的功能和结构。膜蛋白的结构和功能分析是生物学和化学领域中受到最多关注的领域之一,因为膜蛋白的结构和功能分析与新药研发密切相关。
