Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
NDSB-256 is a nondetergent sulfobetaines class member. Unlike CHAPS and other zwittergents, NDSBs are nondenaturing even at 1 M concentrations. NDSBs have been used to improve the efficiency of solubilization of membrane proteins, to isolate nuclear proteins, to chromatographically purify halophilic proteins in low ionic strength buffers, and to crystallize proteins. They are zwitterionic over a wide pH range and do not absorb near UV range significantly. Reported to prevent protein aggregation and facilitate the renaturation of chemically and thermally denatured proteins. NDSBs can be easily removed by dialysis. At 1 M, NDSB-256 will restore 30% of the enzymatic activity of denatured egg white lysozyme; at 800 mM it will restore 16% of the enzymatic activity of denatured β-galactosidase.A nondetergent sulfobetaines class member.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylmethylamines. These are compounds containing a phenylmethtylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted by an methanamine.
