Description

3-(Cyclohexylamino)-1-propanesulfonic acid (CHAPS) is a detergent with a high affinity for basic proteins that can be used to extract these proteins from biological samples and solubilize them. CHAPS is a type of ampholyte, which means it has both anionic and cationic groups. The strong interaction between the ionic groups and the hydrophobic group makes CHAPS more efficient than other detergents for extracting proteins. In addition, CHAPS has been shown to inhibit chemiluminescence in some cases. This inhibition may be due to the binding of CHAPS to the enzyme luciferase or its substrate luciferin. Structural analysis of CHAPS has revealed that it contains one thiol group (-SH). This group will react with free radicals at low pH, so it is possible that this reaction mechanism contributes to the antimicrobial effects of CHAPS.
