Membrane proteins are pivotal players in biological processes. In order to understand how a membrane protein works, it is important to dissolve and stabilize the protein to fully characterize it. However, it is no exaggeration to say that even in today's rapid development of science and technology, this is still a complex task. Because the versatility of membrane proteins and their composition reflect the complex nature of cell membranes, it is a challenge to predict with absolute certainty the optimal synthetic nanodisc polymer for solubilization and subsequent stabilization of membrane proteins. To help with this process, Alfa Chemistry offers a variety of screening kits made up of our classic and specialty SMA, DIBMA and AASTY products to simplify the screening process.
