aggregation. In this study, a novel class of maltoside‐bearing amphiphiles, with a xylene linker in the central region, designated xylene‐linked maltoside amphiphiles (XMAs) was developed. When these novel agents were evaluated with a number of membrane proteins, it was found that XMA‐4 and XMA‐5 have particularly favourable efficacy with respect to membrane protein stabilisation, indicating that these agents
膜蛋白是生物系统中的关键功能参与者。这些生物大分子包含亲水性和疏水性区域,因此两亲性分子对于从其天然脂质环境中提取膜蛋白并使它们稳定在水溶液中是必需的。常规去污剂通常用于膜蛋白操作,但是被这些试剂包围的膜蛋白通常会发生变性和聚集。在这项研究中,开发了一种新型的带有麦芽糖苷的两亲物,在中部区域具有二甲苯连接基,称为二甲苯连接的麦芽糖苷两亲物(XMA)。当将这些新型药物与多种膜蛋白一起评估时,发现XMA-4和XMA-5在膜蛋白稳定方面具有特别有利的功效,
