CHAPS, a derivative of Cholic acid, is a zwitterion detergent that can dissolve membrane proteins. CHAPS is used to stabilize various protein DNA complexes and retain the biochemical activity of proteins in solution.
CHAPS is a non denaturing zwitterion detergent used in membrane biochemistry. It can be used to dissolve membrane proteins and interrupt protein-protein interactions. CHAPS has a low micelle molecular weight (6150) and a high critical micelle concentration (6-10mM), so it can be removed from the sample through dialysis. Chemicalbook is also suitable for dissolving proteins in isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional electrophoresis. CHAPS is commonly used for non denaturing (urea free) isoelectric focusing and has been found to exhibit excellent resolution for certain subcellular preparations and plant proteins. Usually, the concentration between 2-4% (w/v) is used for isoelectric focusing gel.
