Membrane scaffold proteins derive from apolipoprotein (apo; A-I). They are used in membrane protein sciences to stabilize membrane proteins in a lipid environment after the removal of the cell membrane. The size of the nanodisc is determined by the MSP that was used to create the disc. MSP2N2 (His-tagged) creates nanodiscs of ∼17 nm in diameter.
With this assembly kit both cellular as well as cell-free expressed proteins can be stabilized in MSP nanodiscs. Just use the corresponding protocol for each purpose (see below). The MSP protein contains a His-tag, keep that in mind when choosing the affinity tag for your membrane protein.
Delivery information: Shipping temperature: Room temperature; storage of lyophilized copolymer: −20 °C for several years; storage of reconstituted protein: 2 to 8 °C for several day.
