CYMAL-7

Description

CYMAL-7 is a non-ionic detergent reagent supplied by Creative Biolabs for laboratory research. Its primary application is in the solubilization and extraction of membrane proteins. The chemical structure incorporates a cyclohexyl hydrophobic group linked to a maltoside hydrophilic head, a configuration that effectively disrupts lipid bilayers while helping to maintain protein stability in aqueous buffers. This balance makes it a suitable choice for the initial stages of purifying membrane proteins, where preserving native conformation and biological activity is often essential. The product is available in quantities of 1 gram, 5 grams, and 25 grams. It is intended for use in biochemical preparations preceding analytical techniques or structural studies.
