Hi, That is true, Michael.. can't remember the reference, but in some study they found that even if you use a higher MWCO (for example 100 kDa) with DDM (micelle 65-70 kDa), there is still 70-80 % retained detergent in the protein sample. Raji, another thing I would like to say is that the

Toufic, That is my point. Most non-surfactant chemists (i.e., us) seem to feel that detergents have a fairly homogeneous micelle size (DDM micelle ~65-70 kDa), which is not true. You are talking about average micellar size, not the distribution. Micelles readily and rapidly disaggregate
