The membrane protein detergent panel is shown above. The values in parenthesis in the [Det] column are the CMC values for each detergent. Detergents in bold were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids, italics from Bachem, underlined from EMD Biosciences, and all others from Anatrace. The legend shows the relative protease activity in each detergent based on the amount of cleavage product observed on the protein gel.
