N-hexadecyl B-D-maltoside

Description:
N-hexadecyl B-D-maltoside is a non-ionic surfactant and a glycoside, characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and a hydrophilic maltose moiety. This compound is typically used in biochemical and biophysical applications, particularly in the solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins and other biomolecules. Its structure consists of a hexadecyl (C16) fatty acid chain linked to a maltose sugar unit, which imparts both amphiphilic properties and the ability to form micelles in aqueous solutions. N-hexadecyl B-D-maltoside is known for its mildness and low toxicity, making it suitable for use in various laboratory settings. It is soluble in organic solvents and can form stable dispersions in water, which is advantageous for applications in drug delivery and formulation. Additionally, it can facilitate the extraction of membrane proteins while maintaining their functional integrity, making it a valuable tool in membrane biochemistry and related fields.
