General description

Unique detergent with high CMC that solubilizes membrane-bound proteins in their native state. Capable of solubilizing opiate receptor to a state exhibiting reversible binding of opiates. Has higher solubility than CHAPS because of its more polar head group. Aggregation number: 11.
