The Fluidity of Phosphocholine and Maltoside Micelles and the Effect of CHAPSKieber et al.Biophysical JournalMarch 30, 2019In BriefThe dynamics of phosphocholine and maltoside micelles, detergents frequently used for membrane protein structure determination, were investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance of spin probes doped into the micelles. Specifically, phosphocholines are frequently used detergents in NMR studies, and maltosides are frequently used in x-ray crystallography structure determination. Beyond the structural and electrostatic differences, this study aimed to determine whether there are differences in the local chain dynamics (i.e., fluidity). Full-Text PDF Open Archive
