Re: [ccp4bb] Protein-detergent micelle sizes
Jacob,
 
Whether the calbiochem/anatrace catalogues will work for you depends on what you want to know. They do have useful info on micelle sizes (aggregation #s, cmc's etc), but these are values for micelles alone, either in water or 0.1 M salt or something like that. If your question is how much detergent is actually associated with a particular protein you'll unfortunately have to measure that yourself (see Michaels message), since this will be protein and condition dependent (ie a large membrane protein will have more detergent associated with it than a small one). There was a thread on this subject on this board a couple weeks back i think.
 
Cheers, Bert

Hi Jacob,
the Calbiochem and Anatrace product catalogues will do the trick for
you.
best wishes

Dear Crystallographers,

I am trying to gather literature values on the size of the
detergent/micelle
belts on solublized membrane proteins. Does anybody know of a good
repository of this info, whether as a database or as a review paper, or
otherwise? The rough values of 15-25kD to 35-50kD were given in one
recent
BB posting, but I was looking for a more systematic tabulation...

Thanks,

Jacob Keller
