The Soap and Detergent Association (SDA) recognizes that public understanding of the safety and benefits of cleaning products is critical to their proper use. So we've revised Soaþs and Detergents to feature the most current information in an easy-to-read format. This second edition summarizes key developments in the history of cleaning products; the science of how they work; the procedures used to evaluate their safety for people and the environment; the functions of various products and their ingredients; and the most common manufacturing processes. SDA hopes that consumers, educators, students, media, government officials, businesses and others ñnd Soaps and Detergents avaluable resource of information about cleaning products. o ' \o.-. t ¡: 2nd Edition li¡: orpq¿ The Soap ancl Detergent Association I :.

    Tutorial on Working with Micelles and Model Membranes Chuck Sanders Dept. of Biochemistry, Dept. of Medicine, and Center for Structural Biology Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. http://structbio.vanderbilt.edu/sanders/ March, 2017 There are two general classes of membrane proteins. This presentation is on working with integral MPs, which traditionally could be removed from the membrane only by dissolving the membrane with detergents or organic solvents. Multilamellar Vesicles: onion-like assemblies. Each layer is one bilayer. A thin layer of water separates each bilayer. MLVs are what form when lipid powders are dispersed in water. They form spontaneously. Cryo-EM Micrograph of a Multilamellar Vesicle (K. Mittendorf, C. Sanders, and M. Ohi) Unilamellar Multilamellar Vesicle Vesicle Advances in Anesthesia 32(1):133-147 · 2014 Energy from sonication, physical manipulation (such as extrusion by forcing MLV dispersions through filters with fixed pore sizes), or some other high energy mechanism is required to convert multilayered bilayer assemblies into unilamellar vesicles. If the MLVs contain a membrane protein then you should worry about whether the protein will survive these procedures in folded and functional form. Vesicles can also be prepared by dissolving lipids using detergents and then removing the detergent using BioBeads-SM dialysis, size exclusion chromatography or by diluting the solution to below the detergent’s critical micelle concentration. These are much gentler methods that a membrane protein may well survive with intact structure and function.

CLEANING AND SANITIZING I. CLEANING Cleaning is a process which will remove soil and prevent accumulation of food residues which may decompose or support the growth of disease causing organisms or the production of toxins. Listed below are the five basic types of cleaning compounds and their major functions: 1. Basic Alkalis - Soften the water (by precipitation of the hardness ions), and saponify fats (the chemical reaction between an alkali and a fat in which soap is produced). 2. Complex Phosphates - Emulsify fats and oils, disperse and suspend oils, peptize proteins, soften water by sequestering, and provide rinsability characteristics without being corrosive. 3 Surfactant - (Wetting Agents) Emulsify fats, disperse fats, provide wetting properties, form suds, and provide rinsability characteristics without being corrosive. 4. Chelating - (Organic compounds) Soften the water by sequestering, prevent mineral deposits, and peptize proteins without being corrosive.

  • Classification of Cleaning Agents Cleaning Agents Are Classified According to the Principle Method by Which Soil Or Stains Are Removed from the Surface
    Classification of Cleaning Agents Cleaning agents are classified according to the principle method by which soil or stains are removed from the surface. This will be determined by their composition. The principle classes are: • Water • Detergents • Abrasives • Degreasers • Acid cleaners • Organic solvents • Other cleaning agents 1. WATER: Water is the simplest cleaning agent and some form of dirt will be dissolved by it, but normally it is a poor cleaning agent if used alone. It becomes effective only if used in conjunction with some other agent, e.g. a detergent. Water serves to: • Carry the cleaning materials to the soil • Suspend the soil • Remove the suspended soil from the cleaning site • Rinse the detergent solution from the surface • Water has poor power of detergency because: • It has high surface tension and forms droplets • It has little wetting power • It is repelled by oil and grease • If shaken within oil the emulsion does not prevent the formation of large droplets • It has low surfactant effect (surface active agent) 2. DETERGENT: Detergents are those cleaning agents, which contain significant quantities of a group of chemicals known as ‘Surfactants’ (chemicals that have water and soil attracting properties). A number of other chemicals are frequently included to produce detergents suitable for a specific use. A good detergent should – • Reduce the surface tension of water so that the cleaning solution can penetrate the soil • Emulsify soil and lift it from the surface • Be soluble in cold water • Be effective in hard water and a wide range of temperatures. • Be hard on the surface that has to be cleaned.

Martin 2 1 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Melbourne 3800, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 School of Chemistry, Monash University, Clayton, VIC 3800, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-3-9545-8159. Received: 20 December 2012; in revised form: 9 January 2013 / Accepted: 10 January 2013 / Published: 14 January 2013 Abstract: The function of any given biological membrane is determined largely by the specific set of integral membrane proteins embedded in it, and the peripheral membrane proteins attached to the membrane surface. The activity of these proteins, in turn, can be modulated by the phospholipid composition of the membrane. The reconstitution of membrane proteins into a model membrane allows investigation of individual features and activities of a given cell membrane component. However, the activity of membrane proteins is often difficult to sustain following reconstitution, since the composition of the model phospholipid bilayer differs from that of the native cell membrane. This review will discuss the reconstitution of membrane protein activities in four different types of model membrane—monolayers, supported lipid bilayers, liposomes and nanodiscs, comparing their advantages in membrane protein reconstitution. Variation in the surrounding model environments for these four different types of membrane layer can affect the three-dimensional structure of reconstituted proteins and may possibly lead to loss of the proteins activity.
