Anionic acid-labile surfactants and methods of use

摘要

Anionic acid-labile surfactants may generally comprise compounds represented by the formula: wherein R1 is independently selected from -(CH2)0-9CH3, R2 is selected from the group consisting of -H and -(CH2)0-5CH3, Y is an anion, X is a cation, and n is an integer from 1 to 8. Methods of making and using the anionic acid-labile surfactants are also described. The anionic acid-labile surfactants may be used to facilitate the solubilization of proteins and other molecules in an aqueous environment.
