Dodecyl maltoside
Dodecyl maltoside (DM) is a non-ionic detergent commonly used in biochemical applications. It is a mild detergent that helps solubilize and stabilize membrane proteins. DM is often employed in the purification and functional studies of membrane-bound proteins.

Lipid Hydroperoxide Synthesis and Purification
Rhodopsin Preparation and Spin Labeling
CA) and dodecyl maltoside (DM) from Anatrace (Maumee, OH). Deuterated
SDS and urea, deuterium oxide, [15N]-α-lysine, and
[15N]-α,ε-tryptophan were purchased from Cambridge
Isotope Laboratories (Cambridge, MA), and the methanethiosulfonate
spin label (MTSL) was from Toronto Research Chemicals (Toronto, ON).
Rhodopsin for NMR studies was purified from a tetracycline inducible
HEK 293S cell line stably transfected with the wild-type opsin gene,
as described previously.25 (link) All samples
were purified in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer containing 0.05% DM.
Rhodopsin mutants for EPR studies (N151C, I154C, M155C, T108C, V204C,
and I205C) were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis according to
the established Stratagene protocol. Mutants were expressed by DEAE-Dextran
transient transfection of COS-1 cells and harvested after 60 h. Spin
labeling to introduce the nitroxide side chain designated R1 and purification
of each mutant were conducted on an immunoaffinity column as described
previously.38 (link)
Reconstitution of Cytochrome c Oxidation
Isolation and Characterization of Cytochrome c Oxidase
Bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase was isolated from mitochondria following the modified method [86 (link)] into 10 mM Tris, pH 7.6, 50 mM K2SO4, and 0.1% TX. To change TX for DM detergent, the purified enzyme was diluted and reconcentrated using microfilters (YM 100, Millipore, cut-off 100 kDa) with the buffer containing 0.1% DM.
Isolated CcO was frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C. The concentration of CcO was determined from the UV-Vis absorption spectrum of the oxidized enzyme using an extinction coefficient ε (424 nm) = 156 mM−1cm−1 and ε (428 nm) = 169 mM−1cm−1 for the cyanide-ligated CcO (CcO.CN) [87 (link)].
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
