Abstract
The two nonhomologous membrane proteins bacteriorhodopsin and bovine rhodopsin can be extracted from their native membranes by the rigid tripod amphiphile 1. Both proteins are maintained in a stable, soluble form, which is a prerequisite for crystallization. This new class of amphiphiles can be easily modified and could prove to be very useful for membrane protein manipulation.
