Kobilka, b Lan Guan, c Bernadette Byrne e and Pil Seok Chae *a The critical contribution of membrane proteins in normal cellular function makes their detailed structure and functional analysis essential. Detergents, amphipathic agents with the ability to maintain membrane proteins in a soluble state in aqueous solution, have key roles in membrane protein manipulation. Structural and functional stability is a prerequisite for biophysical characterization. However, many conventional detergents are limited in their ability to stabilize membrane proteins, making development of novel detergents for membrane protein manipulation an important research area. The architecture of a detergent hydrophobic group, that directly interacts with the hydrophobic segment of membrane Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported Licence. proteins, is a key factor in dictating their efficacy for both membrane protein solubilization and stabilization. In the current study, we developed two sets of maltoside-based detergents with four alkyl chains by introducing dendronic hydrophobic groups connected to a trimaltoside head group, designated dendronic trimaltosides (DTMs). Representative DTMs conferred enhanced stabilization to multiple membrane proteins compared to the benchmark conventional detergent, DDM.

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.

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.

To this end, the interaction of two non-ionic kinetically trapped micro- and nanostructured arrange- detergents n-dodecyl-b-D-maltoside (DDM) and Triton ments of lipid bilayers. X-100 (TX-100) with two types of phospholipids, namely DPhPC (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) Keywords Detergent-mediated liposome solubilization Á and DPPG (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(10-rac- DPhPC and DPPG Á n-dodecyl-b-D-maltoside (DDM) and glycerol)), are examined. Specifically, solubilization pro- Triton X-100 (TX-100) Á Lamellar-to-micellar transition Á cesses for large unilamellar liposomes are studied with the Lamellar-to-complex structures Á Transmission electron aid of turbidity measurements, dynamic light scattering, microscopy and cryo-transmission electron microscopy imaging. Our results indicate that the solubilization process is well depicted by a three-stage model, wherein the lamellar-to- Introduction micellar transitions for DPhPC liposomes are dictated by the critical detergent/phospholipid ratios.
