General description

Chapso is a zwitterionic detergent derived from Chaps by the addition of a functional hydroxyl group. It is a nondenaturing zwitterionic detergent with characteristics similar to CHAPS, although it is more soluble due to a more polar head group.

Application

Chapso has been used in a study to assess methods for high-throughput crystallization of membrane proteins. It has also been used in a study to investigate the effects of detergents on the structure of rhomboid proteases in a lipid environment.
A nondenaturing zwitterionic detergent with characteristics similar to CHAPS, although it is more soluble due to a more polar head group. Useful for the solubilization of integral membrane proteins.

gamma-Secretase is an aspartic protease that hydrolyzes type I membrane proteins within the hydrophobic environment of the lipid bilayer. Using the CHAPSO-solubilized gamma-secretase assay system, we previously found that gamma-secretase activity was sensitive to the concentrations of detergent and phosphatidylcholine.
