Lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol

Lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol (LMNG) is a detergent that can solubilize and stabilize membrane proteins. Lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol extracts integral membrane proteins from membranes, and improves substantially the stability of various membrane proteins, including G protein-coupled receptors and respiratory complexes[1][2].
