Description

General description

Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, the sodium salt of an acyl derivative of sarcosine—a natural amino acid occurring in muscles and body tissues—stands out as a valuable component in molecular biology, biochemical, and cell biology research. Derived from a natural fatty acid and the amino acid derivative sarcosine, N-Lauroylsarcosine is a biodegradable anionic surfactant usually synthesized through acylation and neutralization reactions involving lauric acid and sodium sarcosine.

This amino acid-type anionic surfactant, also recognized as a fatty acid amide and detergent, exhibits protein denaturant potency and has been integrated into lysing solutions, such as the cornet assay. Its application extends to lysing protoplasts for chromosomal DNA isolation from Streptococcus mutans. Notably, Lauroylsarcosine Sodium Salt, characterized by its ionic detergent properties, is commonly employed for purifying membrane proteins. Additionally, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosine also plays a crucial role in concentrated salt solutions, facilitating cell lysis in RNA purification protocols and membrane solubilization. Whether it′s breaking down cell structures or facilitating membrane protein purification, this mild surfactant proves valuable in various applications within the realms of biology and biochemistry.
