Biological Activity

n-Octyl β-D-glucopyranoside is a non-ionic glycolipid detergent commonly utilized in biochemical applications for membrane protein solubilization and reconstitution. It forms stable, hydrated prolate ellipsoid micelles in aqueous solutions above its critical micelle concentration. Through interaction with lipid bilayers, it modulates cell membrane integrity and can inhibit cavitation-induced cell lysis in vitro, supporting structural biology and membrane dynamics studies. [1]
