Description
The SMALP BZ series was developed by Cube Biotech in collaboration with Prof. Bert Klumperman from Nanosene, a spinout company of Stellenbosch University in South Africa. The goal was to create SMALPs that are synthesized via RAFT polymerization, achieving a better defined polymer size and a low dispersity (narrow chain length distribution). This is a significant improvement over previous SMALPs. The SMALP BZs are thus more efficient in dissolving the cell membranes and increasing protein yield.
After successful solubilization of the membrane protein, the protein can be purified using affinity chromatography. For membrane protein purification we recommend using the Rho1D4-tag.
