[Chromatography of membrane proteins in Triton-X 100. I) Solubilization of membrane proteins in Triton-X 100].

In their study of the chemical and physical characteristics of membrane protein, the Authors have directed their attention to Triton-X 100. The hypothesis is that this detergent would have two antagonistic effects: on the one hand it would delimit the membrane fostering the formation of unstable complexes, on the other it would establish unstable intermediate complexes fostering the formation of soluble proteic complexes.
