Applications
- Zwitterionic detergent.
- Aminosulfobetaine with C16 alkyl tail.
- In some cases superior than ASB-14.
- Useful for solubilizing proteins for 2D analysis.
- Optimal solubility achieved in urea-thiourea mixtures and not in urea alone.
- Reported to show better protein solubilization properties than CHAPS.
- ASB-16 has been shown to solubilize membrane proteins previously undetected.
