Leading the QBI Life Sciences line of Tools for Membrane Proteins is PreserveX™ Polymeric Micelles. This product line offers easy to use methods to extract and solubilize proteins associated with cell membranes from cell and tissue derived fractions. Membrane proteins are important targets for drug discovery as most current drugs work by binding to proteins associated with membranes. However, purification and solubilization of membrane proteins often results in protein instability and loss of activity limiting drug discovery and other areas of research. PreserveX™ Polymeric Micelles aid in the solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins allowing for research not previously possible.
This graphic illustrates the use of PreserveX™ Polymeric Micelles to separate membrane proteins and associated lipids from membrane fractions resulting in solubilized and stabilized micelle/protein/lipid complexes.
