JBScreen Detergents contain 4 x 24 unique detergents that are compatible with most common crystallization reagents and are therefore perfectly suited for membrane protein solubilization:
JBScreen Detergents can be used throughout the protein purification process or can be added afterwards by dialysis or ion-exchange chromatography (detergent exchange). Detergent exchange can be vital for obtaining well-diffracting membrane-protein crystals [1].
JBScreen Detergents is also valuable for additive screening with detergents and detergent mixtures [2,3] in combination with the JBScreen Membrane. This combination will enable you to screen a broad range of detergents, while concentrating on the most successful crystallization conditions, making crystallization screening of membrane proteins much more efficient and less time consuming.
Screen for stabilizing detergents by combining JBScreen Detergents with Prometheus NT.48, a label-free nanoDSF technology developed by NanoTemper Technologies, ideally suited for membrane protein stabilization.
JBScreen Detergents 1 (CS-521), JBScreen Detergents 2 (CS-522) and JBScreen Detergents HTS (CS-525) have been discontinued.
