General description

n-octyl-β-D-glucoside (βOG) is a non-ionic detergent. It has a eight carbon hydrophobic tail.
Octyl glucoside is a dialyzable nonionic detergent for functional solubilization and purification of membrane proteins.

Application

n-octyl-β-D-glucoside is suitable for use to study its self-diffusion coefficients in α-cyclodextrin and β-cyclodextrin solutions at 25°C. 

Biochem/physiol Actions

n-octyl-β-D-glucoside (βOG) helps to extract, solubilize and denature membrane proteins. Octyl glucoside has versatile uses including: reconstituting an ion channel, solubilizing an enzyme and incorporating a protein into liposomes. Also, nonionizing detergent complexes are used in protein crystallization studies. It is mainly used in the expression and purification of recombinant protein.
