| abstract |
The present invention relates to a newly developed psilo-inositol-based amphiphilic compound, a preparation method thereof, and a method of extracting, solubilizing, stabilizing, crystallizing or analyzing a membrane protein using the same. In addition, this compound can efficiently extract membrane proteins with a variety of structures and properties than conventional compounds from cell membranes and store them stably in an aqueous solution for a long period of time, and through this, can be used for functional analysis and structural analysis. Membrane protein structure and function analysis is one of the fields of interest in biology and chemistry as it is closely related to the development of new drugs. |
