It is important to distinguish between the solubilisation and the
purification steps:
1) During the solubisation step you need to care about the
lipid/detergent ratio. The amount (not the concentration) of detergent
(i.e. in non monomeric form, the detergent above the cmc) is important.

Actually, DDM is the most successfully used detergent for membrane
protein crystallization. See Newstead et al, Protein Sci. 17:466. But
yes, the rule of thumb is that detergents that form smaller micelles
give better diffracting crystals, but are more destabilizing.

If I recall correctly cytochrome oxidase, which I believe was
the first protein purified with DDM, requires about 10x cmc
in column buffers to keep it soluble. Check for papers from 1970's or 80's
by S. Ferguson-Miller.
Cytochrme bc1 complex, on the other hand, is perfectly clear in 1 cmc

Hi All,
Has anyone had any luck purifying membrane proteins with DDM
(n-dodecyl-D-maltoside) using concentration of detergent ~1-2 x CMC ? (Its CMC
is very low: 0.009%). I would like to keep it as low as possible, so I don't

I generally use 1 - 2% DDM for extraction only, but lower the concentration
to 0.01% for following steps (i.e. NiNTA and gel filtration). The excess
DDM is washed away by using a lower concentration in your wash and elution
buffers.

Hi,
I used 0.017% or 0.012%. My protein is very stable at this concentration.
Good luck.

What exactly is your question--I saw tons of "crystals" of DDM and
PEGs, I think especially P400, if I recall correctly.

Jacob,
I doubt that the spherulites formed in the presence of detergents are
"primary" detergent phenomenon. However, detergent micelles and the
protein-detergent aggregates (please don't say protein-detergent
micelles) will condense (phase) out in the presence of high salt or
polymers t
Sorry for this non-CCP4 question, but I know no better venue to ask this:
Do people see detergent spherulites or other artifacts in crystal screens in
the presence of dodecyl-maltoside or other detergents? Are there any papers
about this? I have seen some papers talking about the relationships
