14:0 TAP

Application

1,2-dimyristoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (14:0 TAP) is suitable for:the preparation of cationic liposomesreconstitution of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and proteorhodopsin (PR) into liposomescomposing lipid–styrene maleic acid (SMA) complexesliposome preparation by double emulsion method

Biochem/physiol Actions

1,2-dimyristoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (14:0 TAP) is useful for bicelle formation. Bicelles can be integrated into standard crystallization protocols, and in contrast to micelles, bicelles maintain the protein in a more native bilayer environment allowing proteins to be captured in a more biologically relevant orientation.

General description

1,2-dimyristoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (14:0 TAP) is a saturated cationic lipid with a positively charged headgroup. It has an alkyl chain length with 14 carbon atoms.
