Description
CHAPSO (3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate) is a hydroxylated derivative of CHAPS that combines enhanced hydrophilicity with the same steroidal backbone to improve protein stabilization and micellar uniformity. The additional hydroxyl group increases solvation and reduces aggregation, making CHAPSO ideal for solubilizing membrane proteins in conditions where traditional detergents are too harsh. It forms small, monodisperse micelles that preserve functional protein–lipid interactions. CHAPSO is widely employed in cryo-electron microscopy, structural proteomics, and reconstitution of fragile membrane assemblies, offering a refined balance between solubilization efficiency and preservation of biological activity in delicate lipid–protein complexes.
