Lipodisq nanoparticles are usually made up of styrene maleic acid (SMA) copolymer and phospholipids. It has almost similar structure to that of nanodiscs. Lipodisq nanoparticles are considered as a good membrane mimetic system for the structural studies of membrane proteins.
Storage: room temp
Application: Lipodisq reagents are novel polymers derived from styrene and maleic acid. Lipodisq polymers are capable of forming nanosized lipid-based discoidal particles capable of incorporating membrane proteins. The Lipodisq technology can solubilize commonly used lipids such as dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) without the use of detergents. Lipodisqs typically have a diameter of 9-10 nm at pH 7.4.The Lipodisq technology can solubilize commonly used lipids such as dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) without the use of detergents.Functional pH range: 5.5 - 8.0
Biochem Physiol Actions: Lipodisq nanoparticles are considered as a good membrane mimetic system for the structural studies of membrane proteins.
