Applications | CHAPSO is a non-denaturing, electrically neutral, polar detergent. It has a higher solubility than CHAPS due to its more polar head group. CHAPSO solubilizes membrane proteins in their native state, and solubilizes opiate receptors to a state exhibiting reversible binding of opiates. |
