General description

PMA (polymethacrylate) random copolymer is amphiphilic and consists of hydrophobic and hydrophilic sidechains.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PMA (polymethacrylate) forms nanodiscs spontaneously by fragmentation or solubilization of the lipid bilayers. It is used in designing of nanodisc-forming polymer to mimic the amphiphilic nature of proteins and peptides. PMA N−C4−60−4.7 efficiently solubilised the lipid membrane and forms lipid nanodiscs with 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC). The addition of PMA N−C4−60−4.7 lowered the light scattering intensity of Escherichia coli suspension.

Nanoparticles assembled with poly(styrene-maleic acid) copolymers, identified in the literature as Lipodisq, SMALPs or Native Nanodisc, are routinely used as membrane mimetics to stabilise protein structures in their native conformation. To date, transmembrane proteins of varying complexity (up to 8
