Application

Facade™-EPC has been used to produce bicelles for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. It may be used in crystallization of cytochrome P450 2B subfamily proteins, CYP2B35 and CYP2B37.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Facade™ EPC/FA-7 (3α-hydroxy-7α,12α-di-(((2-(trimethylamino)ethyl)phosphoryl)ethyloxy)-cholane) having phosphocholine groups helps in preparing smaller micelles than the facial amphiphiles (FAs) with nonionic sugar groups.
Facade™ is a mild rim forming surfactants, used in the synthesis of isotropic bicelles which prevents unfolding of soluble globular domains of large membrane proteins.

Amphiphile selection is a critical step for structural studies of membrane proteins (MPs). We have developed a family of steroid-based facial amphiphiles (FAs) that are structurally distinct from conventional detergents and previously developed FAs. The unique FAs stabilize MPs and
