18:0 DDAB A80810 (Previously 890810) Dimethyldioctadecylammonium (Bromide Salt)
Incorporation of the glycolipid trehalose 6,6'-dibehenate (TDB) into cationic liposomes composed of the quaternary ammonium compound dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDA) produce an adjuvant system which induces a powerful cell-mediated immune response and a strong antibody response, desirable for a high number of disease targets.
Bicelles can be integrated into standard crystallization protocols, and in contrast to micelles, bicelles maintain the protein in a more native bilayer environment allowing proteins to be captured in a more biologically relevant orientation. Reference/Protocol
