AASTY Screening Kit
Supplier: CUBE BIOTECH
Each membrane protein has its native lipid environment. Therefore, each lipid environment is unique to each membrane protein. Moreover, it is this lipid environment that synthetic polymers like AASTYs interact with. Therefore, one needs a broader selection of polymers since there is not one AASTY that fits each phospholipid composition. To address this question, AASTYs come in three different ratios of acrylic acid to styrene. The ratios differ in hydrophilic property of AASTY, which results in different affinities to varying membrane lipid compositions. The second feature to screen for when it comes to AASTY is the size of the resulting nanodiscs. One of AASTY's most excellent features, compared to SMA or DIBMA, is that its nanodiscs are pretty uniform in size. Therefore, the correct fitting nanodisc size must be determined before.

SMALP Screening Set
Supplier: CUBE BIOTECH
Membrane proteins and their composition are as versatile as the whole cell membrane itself. For this reason, it is impossible to predict with 100% accuracy which SMALP product is best suited for the solubilization and subsequent preparation of your membrane protein of interest. We offer this SMALP Screening Kit that consists of our four individual SMAs. This way, you can conveniently screen for the best SMA for your protein before scaling up your assay. In case you would like to extend your polymer screening beyond the reaches of SMA, we offer our Synthetic Nanodisc Screening Kit, which covers both SMA and DIBMA.

EDC-HCl (N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride), Pierce™
Supplier: Thermo Scientific
Thermo Scientific Pierce EDC is a carboxyl- and amine-reactive zero-length crosslinker. EDC reacts with a carboxyl group first and forms an amine-reactive O-acylisourea intermediate that quickly reacts with an amino group to form an amide bond with release of an isourea by-product. The intermediate is unstable in aqueous solutions and so two-step conjugation procedures rely on N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) for stabilization. Failure to react with an amine will result in hydrolysis of the intermediate, regeneration of the carboxyl, and release of an N-substituted urea. A side reaction is the formation of an N-acylurea, which is usually restricted to carboxyls located in hydrophobic regions of proteins.

Sulfo-SMA Membrane protein solubilization & stabilization
Supplier: CUBE BIOTECH
Sulfo-SMA is an electroneutral modification of existing SMAs. It does not interfere with charge-sensitive interactions between proteins and lipids. This innovation opens up a wider range of experimental research in terms of charge-sensitive membrane protein processes like protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions. In addition, Sulfo-SMA belongs to a new generation of SMA’s which are RAFT polymerized. This achieves a reduction in both monomer size and greater monodispersity.
Another significant advantage of Sulfo polymers compared to other polymers is the wide pH range in which they remain stable. The buffer in which the polymer is supplied has a pH of 7.5, but the polymer itself remains stable between pH 4 and pH 10.
The special physicochemical properties of Sulfo-SMAs make them ideal for cryo-TEM and other downstream applications.
After successful membrane protein solubilization, the protein can be purified using affinity chromatography. For membrane protein purification, we recommend using the Rho1D4-tag. Cube Biotech offers matching products for this purpose.

SMCC (N-Succinimidyl 4-(N-Maleimidomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate), Pierce™
Supplier: Thermo Scientific
Thermo Scientific Pierce SMCC is a hetero-bifunctional crosslinker that contain N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester and maleimide groups that allow covalent conjugation of amine- and sulfhydryl-containing molecules. NHS esters react with primary amines at pH 7–9 to form amide bonds, while maleimides react with sulfhydryl groups at pH 6.5–7.5 to form stable thioether bonds. In aqueous solutions, NHS ester hydrolytic degradation is a competing reaction whose rate increases with pH. The maleimide group is more stable than the NHS-ester group, but will slowly hydrolyze and lose its reaction specificity for sulfhydryls at pH values > 7.5. For these reasons, conjugations with these crosslinkers are usually performed at pH 7.2–7.5, with the NHS ester (amine-targeted) reacted before or simultaneous with the maleimide (sulfhydryl-targeted) reaction.

AASTY 6-50
Supplier: CUBE BIOTECH
AASTYs (Acrylic acid-co-styrenes) - like AASTY 6-50 - are highly-alternating copolymers, well-suited for the generation of native lipid nanodiscs. They are a 2022 novel developed series for membrane protein solubilization & stabilization. AASTY 6-50 gets its name from its molecular weight and Acrylic Acid : Styrene Ratio. These varying ratios of acrylic acid to styrene contribute to the hydrophilic properties of our AASTYs. In general lighter AASTYs, like 6-50 tend to be more aggressive, while heavier AASTYs, such as 11-45 show higher thermodynamic stability.
The exact composition of AASTY copolymers shows different extraction efficiency, depending on the lipid composition of the lipid bilayers being formulated into nanodiscs. As AASTY is made using controlled radical polymerization techniques, the dispersity of polymer molecular weight distribution is low, and the molecular weights are controlled. This means that excess AASTY copolymer can be removed by dialysis after nanodisc formation. Based on previous findings on SMA, it is the expectation that AASTY of different molecular weights will display different rates of nanodisc formation, extraction efficacy, and stability of resulting nanodiscs.
Every membrane protein solubilization needs to undergo a screening process before. The characteristic phospholipid environment surrounding the different membrane proteins in question performs differently well with each polymer. To support you in this process we offer a handy Screening Kit for AASTYs to test them all. Additionally, we recommend the two following publications if you would like to get further information: Smith et al. 2020 & Timcenko et al. 2022

DSP (Dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate)), Premium Grade, Pierce™
Supplier: Thermo Scientific
Thermo Scientific Pierce DSP (Lomant's Reagent) is a water-insoluble, homo-bifunctional N-hydroxysuccimide ester (NHS ester) crosslinker that is thiol-cleavable, primary amine-reactive, and useful for many applications. DSP contains an amine-reactive NHS ester at each end of an 8-carbon spacer arm. NHS esters react with primary amines at pH 7–9 to form stable amide bonds and releasing N-hydroxy-succinimide. Proteins, including antibodies, generally have several primary amines in the side chain of lysine (K) residues and the N-terminus of each polypeptide that are available as targets for NHS ester crosslinking reagents. DSP is non-sulfonated and insoluble in water, so it must first be dissolved in an organic solvent and then added to the aqueous reaction mixture. Because DSP does not possess a charged group, it is lipophilic and membrane-permeable and so useful for intracellular and intramembrane conjugation. A sulfonated analog of DSP (DTTSP) is water soluble. DSS, the non-cleavable analog of the DSP crosslinker is also available for applications that require a stable spacer arm that cannot be cleaved in the presence of reducing agents.

Sulfo-DIBMA Membrane protein solubilization & stabilization
Supplier: CUBE BIOTECH
Sulfo-DIBMA is an electroneutral modification of existing DIBMAs. It does not interfere with charge-sensitive interactions between proteins and lipids. This innovation opens up a wider range of experimental research in terms of charge-sensitive membrane protein processes like protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions. In addition, Sulfo-DIBMA belongs to a new generation of DIBMA’s which are RAFT polymerized. This achieves a reduction in both monomer size and greater monodispersity. With diisobutylene-maleic acid (DIBMA), you can directly extract membrane proteins from cells without an intermediate step of detergent solubilization, like with SDS, which would usually interfere with the protein's function. Another advantage of DIBMA is the lack of an absorbance maxima at 280 nm. SMAs, in comparison, usually interfere with protein quantification, as aromatic amino acids absorb at the same spectrum.
Another significant advantage of Sulfo polymers compared to other polymers is the wide pH range in which they remain stable. The buffer in which the polymer is supplied has a pH of 7.5, but the polymer itself remains stable between pH 4 and pH 10. The special physicochemical properties of Sulfo-DIBMAs make them ideal for cryo-TEM and other downstream applications.
