Customer Review

More membrane proteins were obtained in one operation)

It is simple to operate, saves time, and can significantly increase the amount of membrane proteins.)

Q&As

Why does the expression of membrane proteins require a detergent?)

Most membrane proteins cannot be obtained in sufficient amounts from the natural environment and need to be overexpressed. "Unfortunately, it is difficult to obtain sufficient amounts of functional and stable membrane proteins through the large intestine or other systems." In general, membrane proteins with a higher number of transmembrane times are more difficult to express, such as aquaporins that contain six transmembrane domains.)
