For ...Membrane proteins are a widespread class of bio-macromolecules responsible for numerous vital biological processes and serve as therapeutic targets for a vast array of contemporary medications. For membrane protein isolation and purification, detergents have historically been used. Despite this, detergents frequently result in protein instability. Consequently, their application was limited. Recent detergent-free approaches have been invented. Among these, styrene-maleic acid lipid particle (SMALP), diisobutylene-maleic acid lipid particle (DIBMALP), and native cell membrane nanoparticle (NCMN) systems are the most prevalent. The NCMN system intends to create a library of membrane-active polymers suitable for high-resolution structure determination of membrane protein. Design, synthesis, characterization, and comparative application evaluations of three novel classes of NCMN polymers, NCMNP13-, NCMNP21-, and NCMNP21b-, are presented in this article. Although each NCMN polymer can solubilize distinct model membrane proteins and retain native lipids in NCMN particles, only the NCMNP21b- family produces lipid-protein particles with ideal buffer compatibility and high homogeneity suitable for single-particle cryo-EM analysis. NCMNP21b- polymers that generate high-quality NCMN particles are particularly desirable for membrane protein structural biology. |
