Application

Lipodisq reagents are novel polymers derived from styrene and maleic acid. Lipodisq polymers are capable of forming nanosized lipid-based discoidal particles capable of incorporating membrane proteins. The Lipodisq technology can solubilize commonly used lipids such as dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) without the use of detergents. Lipodisqs typically have a diameter of 9-10 nm at pH 7.4.The Lipodisq technology can solubilize commonly used lipids such as dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) without the use of detergents.Functional pH range: 5.5 - 8.0

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipodisqnanoparticles are considered as a good membrane mimetic system for the structural studies of membrane proteins.

General description

Lipodisq nanoparticles are usually made up of styrene maleic acid (SMA) copolymer and phospholipids. It has almost similar structure to that of nanodiscs. Lipodisqnanoparticles are considered as a good membrane mimetic system for the structural studies of membrane proteins.
