Product Information

• Name: Decyl α-D-maltopyranoside
• Synonyms: Decyl 4-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-α-D-glucopyranoside
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Decyl a-D-maltopyranoside is a low molecular weight alcohol that is used in the synthesis of glycoproteins. It has been shown to bind to the peptides and proteins of the cell membranes, which may be due to its hydrophobic character. Decyl a-D-maltopyranoside is also capable of coordinating with the membrane, which may be due to its high affinity for lipids. Decyl a-D-maltopyranoside can be used as an electrode material because it is more stable than other materials.
