SMALP BZ Screening Kit

The versatility of membrane proteins and their composition mirrors the intricate nature of the cell membrane. As a result, it is a challenge to predict with absolute certainty the optimal SMALP BZ polymer for the solubilization and subsequent stabilization of your membrane protein of interest.

Therefore, the SMALP BZ Screening Kit is offered that consists of four individual SMALP BZs. This way you can conveniently screen for the best SMALP BZ for your protein before scaling up your assay.

After successful solubilization of the membrane protein, the protein can be purified using affinity chromatography.
