Abstract
We report herein the synthesis of three detergents bearing a perfluorinated cyclohexyl group connected through a short, hydrogenated spacer (i.e., propyl, butyl, or pentyl) to a β-maltoside polar head that are, respectively, called FCymal-3, FCymal-4, and FCymal-5. Increasing the length of the spacer decreased the critical micellar concentration (CMC), as demonstrated by surface tension (SFT) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), from 5 mM for FCymal-3 to 0.7 mM for FCymal-5. The morphology of the micelles was studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), indicating heterogeneous rod-like shapes. While micelles of FCymal-3 and -4 have similar hydrodynamic diameters of ∼10 nm, those of FCymal-5 were twice as large. We also investigated the ability of the detergents to solubilize lipid membranes made of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). Molecular modeling indicated that the FCymal detergents generate disorder in lipid bilayers, with FCymal-3 being inserted more deeply into bilayers than FCymal-4 and -5. This was experimentally confirmed using POPC vesicles that were completely solubilized within 2 h with FCymal-3, whereas FCymal-5 required >8 h. A similar trend was noticed for the direct extraction of membrane proteins from E. coli membranes, with FCymal-3 being more potent than FCymal-5. An opposite trend was observed in terms of stabilization of the two model membrane proteins bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and SpNOX. In all three FCymal detergents, bR was stable for at least 2 months with no signs of aggregation. However, while the structural integrity of bR was fully preserved in FCymal-4 and -5, minor bleaching was observed in FCymal-3. Similarly, SpNOX exhibited the least activity in FCymal-3 and the highest activity in FCymal-5. By combining solubilizing and stabilizing potency, FCymal detergents push forward our expectations of the usefulness of fluorinated detergents for handling and investigating membrane proteins.

Zwitterionic fluorinated detergents: From design to membrane protein applications. Biochimie 2023; 205:40-52.

Abstract
We report herein the synthesis of zwitterionic sulfobetaine (SB) and dimethylamine oxide (AO) detergents whose alkyl chain is made of either a perfluorohexyl (F6H3) or a perfluoropentyl (F5H5) group linked to a hydrogenated spacer arm. In aqueous solution, the critical micellar concentrations (CMCs) measured by surface tensiometry (SFT) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) were found in the millimolar range (1.3-2.4 mM). The morphologies of the aggregates were evaluated by dynamic light scattering (DLS), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), demonstrating that the two perfluoropentyl derivatives formed small micelles less than 10 nm in diameter, whereas the perfluorohexyl derivatives formed larger and more heterogeneous micelles. The two SB detergents were able to solubilize synthetic lipid vesicles in a few hours; by contrast, the perfluoropentyl AO induced much faster solubilization, whereas the perfluorohexyl AO did not show any solubilization. All detergents were tested for their abilities to stabilize three membrane proteins, namely, bacteriorhodopsin (bR), the Bacillus subtilis ABC transporter BmrA, and the Streptococcus pneumoniae enzyme SpNOX. The SB detergents outperformed the AO derivatives as well as their hydrogenated analogs in stabilizing these proteins. Among the four new compounds, F5H5SB combines many desirable properties for membrane-protein study, as it is a powerful yet gentle detergent.

Abstract
When membrane proteins are removed from their natural environment, the quality of the membrane-solubilizing agent used is critical for preserving their native structures and functions. Nanodiscs that retain a lipid-bilayer core around membrane proteins have attracted great attention because they offer a much more native-like environment than detergent micelles. Here, two small-molecule amphiphiles with diglucose headgroups and either a hydrocarbon or a fluorocarbon hydrophobic chain are shown to directly assemble lipids and membrane proteins to form native nanodiscs rather than mixed micelles. Self-assembly of nanodiscs of increasing complexity from both defined, artificial vesicles as well as complex, cellular membranes is demonstrated. A detailed investigation of bilayer integrity and membrane-protein activity in these nanodiscs reveals gentle effects on the encapsulated bilayer core. The fluorinated amphiphile appears particularly promising because its lipophobicity results in gentle, non-perturbing interactions with the nanoscale lipid bilayer. A sequential model of nanodisc self-assembly is proposed that proceeds through perforation of the original membrane followed by saturation and complete solubilization of the bilayer. On this basis, pseudophase diagrams are established for mixtures of lipids and nanodisc-forming diglucoside amphiphiles, and the latter are used for the extraction of a broad range of membrane proteins from cellular membranes.

Abstract
Four double-tailed hybrid fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon (F-H) surfactants with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polar headgroup were synthesized. The hydrophobic scaffold consists of an amino acid core, onto which were grafted both fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. The PEG polar head was connected to the hydrophobic scaffold through a copper(I)-mediated click reaction. The four derivatives exhibit aqueous solubility >100 g/L and self-assemble into micellar aggregates with micromolar critical micellar concentration (CMC) values, as demonstrated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), surface tension (ST) measurements, and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The CMC value decreased by a factor of ∼6 for each additional pair of CH2 groups, whereas a decrease by a factor of ∼2.5 was observed when the size of the PEG polar head was reduced from 2000 to 750 g/mol. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) showed unimodal micelle populations with hydrodynamic diameters of 10-15 nm, in agreement with results obtained from size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). The aggregation number increased with the hydrocarbon chain length but decreased with increasing PEG chain lengths. The combination in one molecular design of both low CMC and high water solubility makes these new surfactants promising systems for novel drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
We report herein the synthesis of a series of fluorinated surfactants with a glucose moiety as a polar head group and whose alkyl chain was varied in length and in fluorine/hydrogen ratio. They were synthesized in two or four steps in 20 to 50% overall yields allowing gram-scale synthesis. Their solubility in water is between 0.2 and 13.8 g/L, which indicates low water solubility. Two derivatives of the series were found to form micelles in water at ∼11 mM. Their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance was determined both by Griffin's and Davies' methods; they may exhibit a "harsh" character toward membrane proteins. This, combined with their low water solubility, suggest that they could advantageously be used in detergent mixtures containing a "mild" detergent. Finally, the potency of one of the derivatives, F3H5-β-Glu, to act as an additive for the crystallization of AcrB was evaluated in detergent mixtures with n-dodecyl-β-d-maltopyranoside (DDM). Among the six crystallization conditions investigated, adding F3H5-β-Glu improved the crystallization for three of them, as compared to control drops without additives. Moreover, preliminary tests with other compounds of the series showed that none of them hampered crystallization and suggested improvement for three of them. These novel glucose-based fluorinated detergents should be regarded as potential additives that could be included in screening kits used in crystallization.

Abstract
The critical micellar concentration (cmc) is a fundamental property of surfactant solutions. Many proposed methods for the definition and determination of the cmc from property-concentration plots yield values, which depend on the studied property, on the specific technique used for its analysis and in many cases on the subjective choice of the chosen type of plot and concentration interval. In this focus review, we revise the application of a surfactant concentration model we proposed earlier that defines the cmc directly based on the surfactant concentration. Known equations for the concentration-dependence of different surfactant properties can then be combined with this concentration model and fitted to experimental data. This modular concept makes it possible to determine the cmc and the transition width in a systematic and unambiguous way. We revise its use in the literature in different contexts: the determination of the cmc of surfactants and their mixtures from different properties (electrical conductivity, NMR chemical shift, self-diffusion, surface tension, UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence intensity and fluorescence correlation). We also revise the dependence of the width of the transition region on composition, detailed studies of the properties of fluorescent probes and the aggregation of non-surfactant systems, namely amyloid peptides.

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.

Abstract
Amphiphilic molecules with one or more perfluoroalkyl groups (Rf, CnF2n+1), which show peculiar interfacial properties, are attracting much attention in membrane protein science. We recently have developed a partially fluorinated dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) with a perfluorobutyl group in the hydrophobic chain terminal (F4-DMPC) and demonstrated that F4-DMPC is a promising material for incorporating membrane proteins. Moreover, we have found out that membrane properties of a series of partially fluorinated DMPCs with different Rf chain lengths (Fn-DMPCs) vary in a significant Rf chain length-dependent manner. In the present study, structural and functional properties of a membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin (bR) in the Fn-DMPC (n = 4, 6, and 8) membranes (bR/Fn-DMPC) are investigated using several physicochemical techniques. Regardless of the Rf chain lengths, bR/Fn-DMPCs retain native-like structural and functional properties at 30 °C, unlike bR molecules in DMPC vesicles. In particular, bR/F6-DMPC, which is in the fluid phase at 30 °C, shows flash-induced transient absorption changes very similar to the native purple membrane (PM) and very high thermal stability of bR trimers comparable to the PM. Structural and functional properties of bR/Fn-DMPCs are discussed compared to the PM and bR/DMPC.

Abstract
Abstract
Due to negative effects of conventional fluorinated surfactants with long perfluorocarbon chain (CxF2x+ 1, x≥7) like perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), these conventional long perfluorocarbon chain surfactants have been restricted in many industrial applications. Nowadays, their potential non-bioaccumulable alternatives have been developed to meet the requirements of environmental sustainable development. In this paper, the recent advances of potential non-bioaccumulable fluorinated surfactants with different fluorocarbon chain structures, including the short perfluorocarbon chain, the branched fluorocarbon chain, and the fluorocarbon chain with weak points, are reviewed from the aspects of synthesis processes, properties, and structure-activity relationships. And their applications in emulsion polymerization of fluorinated olefins, handling membrane proteins, and leather manufacture also are summarized. Furthermore, the challenges embedded in the current non-bioaccumulable fluorinated surfactants are also highlighted and discussed with the hope to provide a valuable reference for the prosperous development of fluorinated surfactants.

Abstract
Two new surfactants, F5OM and F5DM, were designed as partially fluorinated analogues of n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DDM). The micellization properties and the morphologies of the aggregates formed by the two surfactants in water and phosphate buffer were evaluated by NMR spectroscopy, surface tension measurement, isothermal titration calorimetry, dynamic light scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, and analytical ultracentrifugation. As expected, the critical micellar concentration (cmc) was found to decrease with chain length of the fluorinated tail from 2.1-2.5 mM for F5OM to 0.3-0.5 mM for F5DM, and micellization was mainly entropy-driven at 25 °C. Close to their respective cmc, the micelle sizes were similar for both surfactants, that is, 7 and 13 nm for F5OM and F5DM, respectively, and both increased with concentration forming 4 nm diameter rods with maximum dimensions of 50 and 70 nm, respectively, at a surfactant concentration of ∼30 mM. The surfactants were found to readily solubilize lipid vesicles and extract membrane proteins directly from Escherichia coli membranes. They were found more efficient than the commercial fluorinated detergent F6H2OM over a broad range of concentrations (1-10 mM) and even better than DDM at low concentrations (1-5 mM). When transferred into the two new surfactants, the thermal stability of the proteins bacteriorhodopsin (bR) and FhuA was higher than in the presence of their solubilization detergents and similar to that in DDM; furthermore, bR was stable over several months. The membrane enzymes SpNOX and BmrA were not as active as in DDM micelles but similarly active as in F6OM. Together, these findings indicate both extracting and stabilizing properties of the new maltose-based fluorinated surfactants, making them promising tools in MP applications.

Abstract
Most drugs work by binding to receptors on the cell surface. Quantification of binding kinetics between drug and membrane protein is an essential step in drug discovery. Current methods for measuring binding kinetics involve extracting the membrane protein and labeling, and both have issues. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging has been demonstrated for quantification of protein binding to cells with single-cell resolution, but it only senses the bottom of the cell and the signal diminishes with the molecule size. We have discovered that ligand binding to the cell surface is accompanied by a small cell membrane deformation, which can be used to measure the binding kinetics by tracking the cell edge deformation. Here, we report the first integration of SPR imaging and cell edge tracking methods in a single device, and we use lectin interaction as a model system to demonstrate the capability of the device. The integration enables the simultaneous collection of complementary information provided by both methods. Edge tracking provides the advantage of small molecule binding detection capability, while the SPR signal scales with the ligand mass and can quantify membrane protein density. The kinetic constants from the two methods were cross-validated and found to be in agreement at the single-cell level. The variation of observed rate constant between the two methods is about 0.009 s-1, which is about the same level as the cell-to-cell variations. This result confirms that both methods can be used to measure whole-cell binding kinetics, and the integration improves the reliability and capability of the measurement.

Abstract
Four hybrid double-chain surfactants with a maltose polar head were synthesized. The apolar domain consists of a hydrogenated chain, and a partially fluorinated chain made of a propyl hydrogenated spacer terminated by a perfluorinated core of various lengths. Their water solubility was found to be lower than 1 g/L irrespective of the length of both chains. The self-assembling properties of pure hybrids in water were studied by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy, which revealed the formation of two populations of aggregates with diameters of 8-50 nm and 80-300 nm. When mixed with the classical detergent n-dodecylmaltoside (DDM), the four hybrids were well soluble and formed small mixed micelles. DDM/hybrid mixtures were further evaluated for the extraction of the full-length, wild-type human GPCR adenosine receptor (A2AR), and the bacterial transporter AcrB. The solubilization of A2AR showed extraction efficiencies ranging from 40 to 70%, while that of AcrB reached 60-90%. Finally, three of the hybrids exhibited significant thermostabilization when present as additives. The derivative with a C12-hydrogenated chain and a C4F9-fluorinated chain emerged as the most potent additive exhibiting both good extraction yields of A2AR and AcrB and thermostabilization of A2AR by ∼7 °C.

Abstract
Biological membranes form the boundaries to cells. They are integral to cellular function, retaining the valuable components inside and preventing access of unwanted molecules. Many different classes of molecules demonstrate disruptive properties to the plasma membrane. These include alcohols, detergents and antimicrobial agents. Understanding this disruption and the mechanisms by which it can be mitigated is vital for improved therapeutics as well as enhanced industrial processes where the compounds produced can be toxic to the membrane. This mini-review describes the most common molecules that disrupt cell membranes along with a range of in vitro liposome-based techniques that can be used to monitor and delineate these disruptive processes.

Abstract
We report herein the design and synthesis of a novel series of alkyl glycoside detergents consisting of a nonionic polar headgroup that comprises two glucose moieties in a branched arrangement (DG), onto which octane-, decane-, and dodecanethiols were grafted leading to ODG, DDG, and DDDG detergents, respectively. Micellization in aqueous solution was studied by isothermal titration calorimetry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and surface tensiometry. Critical micellar concentration values were found to decrease by a factor of ∼10 for each pair of methylene groups added to the alkyl chain, ranging from ∼0.05 to 9 mM for DDDG and ODG, respectively. Dynamic light scattering and analytical ultracentrifugation sedimentation velocity experiments were used to investigate the size and composition of the micellar aggregates, showing that the aggregation number significantly increased from ∼40 for ODG to ∼80 for DDDG. All new compounds were able to solubilize membrane proteins (MPs) from bacterial membranes, insect cells, as well as the Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. In particular, native human adenosine receptor (A2AR) and bacterial transporter (BmrA) were solubilized efficiently. Striking thermostability improvements of +13 and +8 °C were observed when ODG and DDG were, respectively, applied to wild-type and full-length A2AR. Taken together, this novel detergent series shows promising detergent potency for solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins (MPs) and thus makes a valuable addition to the chemical toolbox available for extracting and handling these important but challenging MP targets.
