Sulfobetaine-14

Zwittergent 3-14 (DMAPS) is a zwitterionic detergent commonly used in biochemistry and molecular biology for the solubilization and purification of membrane-bound proteins and other hydrophobic biomolecules, which have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties , so that it has good detergency properties, making it suitable for stabilizing membrane proteins in aqueous solutions. In addition, DMAPS has been used in various techniques such as electrophoresis and chromatography for the separation and analysis of biomolecules. The long The hydrocarbon chains provide it with good membrane penetration and solubilization capabilities, while the sulfonate and quaternary ammonium groups ensure water solubility and charge neutrality.
