N-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside

N-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (Lauryl Maltoside) is a non-ionic detergent. N-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside has strong adsorption on alumina, titanium dioxide and hematite. N-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside can promote the reactivation of various proteins. N-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside can effectively stabilize photoactive reaction center complexes (RCs) and inhibit the degradation of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides R-26 reaction center in solution. N-Dodecyl-β-D-maltoside can be used for purification and stabilization of RNA polymerase and for detection of protein-lipid interactions[1][2][3][4].
