Octyl β-D-glucopyranoside is an alkylglycoside non-ionic detergent and is one of the most commonly used in membrane protein isolation. As it is uncharged, it is unlikely to cause protein denaturation or refolding issues, allowing for the isolation of intact macromolecular complexes without affecting protein-protein interactions. Octyl β-D-glucopyranoside, also known as octylglucoside or OG, forms small, uniformed micelles and has an aggregation number of between 27-100. It is readily dialyzable from membrane protein preparations due to its high Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) of 18-20mM. Octyl β-D-glucopyranoside has similar uses and properties to that of another frequently used surfactant, Octyl β-D-thioglucopyranoside.
