General description

Octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether is a nonionic detergent.

Application

Octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether has been used in a study to assess intestinal sodium transport mechanisms. It has also been used in a study to investigate interactions between dyes and surfactants in inkjet ink used for textiles.
Detergent used for the study of membrane proteins in a native-like state, e.g. ATPase. Used in a mixed micellar assay for lipoxygenase acting at neutral pH and for functional reconstitution of influenza virus envelopes.

The interaction of the nonionic detergent octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (OG) with lipid bilayers was studied with high-sensitivity isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and solid-state 2H-NMR spectroscopy. The transfer of OG from the aqueous phase to lipid bilayers composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) can be
