General description
This product is the pre-hydrolyzed form of the Styrene:Maleic Anhydride Copolymer 1:1. It can be regarded, in effect, as Styrene:Maleic Acid Copolymer 1:1 (SMA Copolymer 1:1).
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: 3.5 - 5.5
