Abstract
Detergents are amphiphilic molecules that serve as enabling steps for today's world applications. The increasing diversity of the detergentome is key to applications enabled by detergent science. Regardless of the application, the optimal design of detergents is determined empirically, which leads to failed preparations, and raising costs. To facilitate project planning, here we review synthesis strategies that drive the diversification of the detergentome. Synthesis strategies relevant for industrial and academic applications include linear, modular, combinatorial, bio-based, and metric-assisted detergent synthesis. Scopes and limitations of individual synthesis strategies in context with industrial product development and academic research are discussed. Furthermore, when designing detergents, the selection of molecular building blocks, i. e., head, linker, tail, is as important as the employed synthesis strategy. To facilitate the design of safe-to-use and tailor-made detergents, we provide an overview of established head, linker, and tail groups and highlight selected scopes and limitations for applications. It becomes apparent that most recent contributions to the increasing chemical diversity of detergent building blocks originate from the development of detergents for membrane protein studies. The overview of synthesis strategies and molecular blocks will bring us closer to the ability to predictably design and synthesize optimal detergents for challenging future applications.

Biochimie 2023; 205:27-39.

Abstract
We report herein the synthesis of two non-ionic amphiphiles with a cholesterol hydrophobic moiety that can be used as chemical additives for biochemical studies of membrane proteins. They were designed to show a high similarity with the planar steroid core of cholesterol and small-to-medium polar head groups attached at the C3 position of ring-A on the sterol skeleton. The two Chol-Tris and Chol-DG have a Tris-hydroxymethyl and a branched diglucose polar head group, respectively, which provide them sufficient water solubility when mixed with the "gold standard" detergent n-Dodecyl-β-D-Maltoside (DDM). The colloidal properties of these mixed micelles were investigated by means of surface tension (SFT) measurements and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments and showed the formation of globular micelles of about 8 nm in diameter with a critical micellar concentration of 0.20 mM for DDM:Chol-DG and 0.22 mM for DDM:Chol-Tris. We showed that mixed micelles do not alter the extraction potency of a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR): the human adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR). The thermostabilizing effect of the mixed micelles was confirmed on two GPCRs, A2AR and the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Finally, these two mixed micelles were found suitable for the purification of an active form of A2AR which remained able to bind two ligands of different class i.e. the specific agonist CGS-21680 and the specific inverse agonist ZM-241385. This suggests that Chol-Tris and Chol-DG may be used as a non-ionic alternative to the cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS) stabilizing agent.

Methods for the solubilisation of membrane proteins: the micelle-aneous world of membrane protein solubilisation. Biochem Soc Trans 2021; 49:1763-1777. [PMID: 34415288 PMCID: PMC8421053 DOI: 10.1042/bst20210181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The solubilisation of membrane proteins (MPs) necessitates the overlap of two contradictory events; the extraction of MPs from their native lipid membranes and their subsequent stabilisation in aqueous environments. Whilst the current myriad of membrane mimetic systems provide a range of modus operandi, there are no golden rules for selecting the optimal pipeline for solubilisation of a specific MP hence a miscellaneous approach must be employed balancing both solubilisation efficiency and protein stability. In recent years, numerous diverse lipid membrane mimetic systems have been developed, expanding the pool of available solubilisation strategies. This review provides an overview of recent developments in the membrane mimetic field, with particular emphasis placed upon detergents, polymer-based nanodiscs and amphipols, highlighting the latest reagents to enter the toolbox of MP research.
