Abstract

The development of a new class of surfactants for membrane protein manipulation,“GNG amphiphiles”, is reported. These amphiphiles display promising behavior for membrane proteins, as demonstrated recently by the high resolution structure of a sodium-pumping pyrophosphatase reported by Kellosalo et al.(Science, 2012, 337, 473).
