Product Overview
CHAPS (3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate) is a zwitterionic detergent that combines the properties of bile acid derivatives with sulfobetaine detergents. It effectively solubilizes membrane proteins while maintaining their native structure and biological activity.
Due to its mild non-denaturing characteristics, CHAPS is widely used in membrane protein extraction, protein purification, isoelectric focusing (IEF), two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, enzyme assays and proteomics research.
