Detergent solubilisation and thermal stability of mGlu5-Δ856 [3H]-MPEP-bound receptor in insect cells. (A) Quantification of unpurified mGlu5-Δ856 receptor solubilized at 4 °C using [3H]-MPEP binding assay measured in a series of maltoside-based detergents including lauryl maltose neopentyl glycol-3 (MNG3), n-Dodecyl-β-D-Maltoside (DDM) and n-Decyl-β-D-Maltoside (DM) supplemented with different ratio of cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS). (B) Thermal stability of the mGlu5-Δ856 [3H]-MPEP-bound receptor solubilized in four different conditions; DDM (0.83%), DDM-CHS (0.83–0.083%), MNG3 (0.83%) and MNG3-CHS (0.83–0.083%). Data points for both assays (A,B) represent the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Dunnett’s test as part of one-way ANOVA was used for comparison with MNG3-CHS (0.83–0) and DDM-CHS (0.83–0) set as reference level for MNG3 and DDM supplemented with CHS, respectively.
