✦ Synopsis


A homologous series of novel zwitterionic detergents, sulfobetaines (SB,), was examined for its ability to emulsify a triglyceride model system and to extract proteins from 3T6 mouse fibroblast membranes. In both instances the solubilization efficiency of SB,s was found to improve with increasing alkyl chain length (n). The higher alkyl SB,s (n 3 12) were shown to be superior to nonionic detergents of the polyoxyethelene type (e.g., Nonidet P-40) but inferior to the anionic SDS in their ability to solubilize 3T6 cell membrane proteins. However, unlike SDS, SB,s apparently do not denature either water-soluble or membrane proteins, as judged by retention of enzymatic activity.

Two-dimensional electrophoresis of proteins is often precluded due to the lack of solubilization of cell membrane extracts in an aqueous medium. Various additives and detergents have been used to circumvent the problem, but their efficacy may not be satisfactory. In this study, the removal of lipidi
