Lipodisq(R) polymers contain styrene and maleic acid monomer units. This product is the pre-hydrolyzed form of the SMA polymer, with the styrene and maleic acid monomers. These polymer-lipid complexes are mainly generated by detergent-free methods.
Storage: room temp
Application: The Lipodisq(R) technology can solubilize commonly used lipids such as dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) without the use of detergents.Functional pH range: 6.0 - 9.0
Biochem Physiol Actions: Lipodisq(R) polymers may be used to form nano-sized discoidal particles that are suitable for incorporation of membrane proteins. Lipodisq(R) polymers can solubilize commonly used lipids, e.g. dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), without the use of detergents. In general, lipodisq polymers are potentially useful in mitigating the use of detergents for solubilization of membrane proteins.
