Octyl thiomaltoside
Synonyms: Octyl β-D-thiomaltopyranoside
Octyl thiomaltoside (OTM) is a nonionic detergent specifically designed for biochemical assays, particularly in the purification and crystallization of membrane proteins. Its amphiphilic nature, characterized by a hydrophilic head group and a lipophilic tail, allows effective solubilization of integral membrane proteins while maintaining their structural integrity and functionality. OTM serves critical roles in biochemical and biophysical research, and is also applicable in diverse fields such as drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, and diagnostic analysis.
