General description

Octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether is a nonionic detergent.

Application

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.

Many attempts have been made to rationalize the use of detergents for membrane protein studies [J. Biol. Chem. 264 (1989) 4907]. The barrier properties of the detergent headgroup may be one parameter critically involved in protein protection. In this paper

We have studied the effect of two cosolvents, urea and glycerol, on the association and interactions of a surfactant, octaethyleneglycol dodecyl ether (C(12)EO(8)) and a phospholipid (POPC). We have measured the CMC, the partition coefficient, the effective mole fractions X(e)(sat)

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

Endovesicles induced in human erythrocytes by octaethyleneglycol dodecylether (C12E8) were studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy, using fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran as a nonspecific fluid marker. The endovesicles appeared to consist mainly of a ring-formed toroidal part joined with a central

In the current work, we studied the effect of the nonionic detergent dodecyloctaethyleneglycol, C(12)E(8), on the structure and oligomeric form of the Na,K-ATPase membrane enzyme (sodium-potassium pump) in aqueous suspension, by means of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Samples composed of
