n-Octyl-β-D-Glucopyranoside is a non-ionic detergent for membrane protein.
n-Octyl-glucoside is a non-ionic alkyl-glucoside detergent commonly used in the solubilization of membrane proteins and phospholipids. n-Octyl-glucoside has been used at a molar dependant ratios for the solubilization of phosphatidylcholine bilayers. n-Octyl-glucoside has been used for protein crystallization, as well as for enhancement of oligosaccharide cleavage from glycoproteins using endoglycosidase F.
