Biotinylated Nanodisc Control
Catalog No: NANODISCCTRL-HB001
- Species
- Control
- Expression System
- HEK293
- Tag
- His
Product overview
Recombinant Biotinylated Nanodisc Control is expressed in HEK293 cells with a His tag at the C-terminus. Our Control Nanodisc features a small, integrated alpha-helix peptide at the center of the nanodisc. The phospholipid disc is stabilized by an SMA (a type of copolymer) belt as the scaffold. The control nanodiscs are used to exclude experimental artifacts caused by the scaffold or phospholipid components, such as fluorescent background or nonspecific interactions

Background
SMA based nanodiscs are synthetic structures formed using styrene maleic anhydride (SMA), which allows for the stabilization and solubilization of membrane proteins without the use of detergents. The advantage is directly extraction proteins from their native cell membrane environment.
