Abstract

Crystallization of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) in the lipidic cubic phase using n-octyl-β-D-glucoside (OG) and its more stable and inexpensive analogue n-octyl-β-D-thioglucoside (OTG) was comparatively analyzed [1]. It was shown that bacteriorhodopsin is efficiently crystallized in OTG in the same detergent concentration range as in OG. However, x-ray diffraction analysis shows that bR crystals in OG are characterized by a better resolution (1.35 Å) than bR crystals in OTG (1.45 Å).
