Structural biology relies heavily on the ability to obtain well-ordered, high-resolution three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules. For membrane proteins, which are intrinsically embedded within lipid bilayers, this often requires sophisticated solubilization and reconstitution techniques. 1,2-diheptanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC) is a cornerstone reagent in these efforts, widely recognized for its capacity to solubilize membrane proteins while maintaining their conformational integrity, a crucial factor for successful crystallization. As a trusted supplier and manufacturer, we offer high-purity DHPC essential for advancing structural biology research.

The challenge in structural biology stems from the inherent difficulty in isolating and stabilizing membrane proteins. Detergents like DHPC act as molecular shields, surrounding the hydrophobic regions of the protein and presenting a hydrophilic interface to the aqueous environment. This process, known as solubilization, is the first critical step before attempting crystallization or other structural studies. When you buy DHPC, opting for a product with u226598.0% purity is non-negotiable, as even trace impurities can inhibit crystal growth or lead to artifactual structures. Our commitment as a manufacturer ensures that researchers can purchase DHPC with confidence, knowing they are using a reagent that meets the highest scientific standards.

Our role as a manufacturer in China allows us to provide researchers globally with access to exceptionally pure DHPC at competitive price points. We understand the budget constraints often faced by academic labs and research institutions, making our cost-effective DHPC an attractive option for those needing to procure supplies for extensive structural biology projects. The consistency of our product, batch after batch, is a testament to our rigorous quality control measures, ensuring that your crystallization trials yield reliable results.

The use of DHPC is particularly noted in the formation of bicelles, which are discoidal aggregates formed from long-chain lipids and short-chain lipids like DHPC. Bicelles serve as excellent membrane mimetics, providing a native-like environment for membrane proteins, thereby facilitating NMR spectroscopy and crystallization studies. The precise ratio of long-chain to short-chain lipids, including DHPC, can be adjusted to optimize the bicelle structure and its interaction with the target protein. Therefore, sourcing pure DHPC is fundamental for researchers working with these advanced systems.
