The invention provides amphiphilic compounds and methods for manipulating membrane proteins. Compounds of the invention, for example, the compounds of Formulas I-XIX, can be prepared from readily available starting materials. The amphiphilic compounds can manipulate membrane protein at relatively low concentrations compared to many known detergents. The compounds can be used to aid the isolation of membrane proteins, for example, to aid their solubilization and/or purification. The compounds can also be used to aid the functional and structural determination of membrane proteins, including their stabilization and crystallization.
本发明提供了两性分子化合物和操纵膜蛋白的方法。例如,本发明的化合物,如公式I-XIX的化合物,可以从易得的起始材料制备。与许多已知的洗涤剂相比,这些两性分子化合物可以在相对较低的浓度下操纵膜蛋白。这些化合物可以用于辅助分离膜蛋白,例如,辅助它们的溶解和/或纯化。这些化合物还可以用于辅助膜蛋白的功能和结构确定,包括它们的稳定和晶化。
