Details
With diisobutylene-maleic acid (DIBMA) you can directly extract membrane proteins from cells without an intermediate step of detergent solubilization, like with SDS that would usually interfere with the proteins function. Another advantage of DIBMA as a tool for protein solubilization is the lack of an absorbance maxima at 280 nm in comparison to SMAs, as their aromatic amino acids would usually absorb at the same spectrum and therefore interfere with protein quantification. PureCube DIBMA is lyophilized from two different buffer solutions (HEPES or TRIS) to ensure a stable pH of 7.5, which is ideal for most protein solubilizations. A good publication to read up even more details about DIBMA is Oluwole et al. 2017.

For the longest time, the science behind membrane proteins relied on detergents for both solubilization and stabilization. However, detergents such as DDM or LMNG come with their set of problems. A time-consuming screening process for the correct detergent and the constant need to add it to all buffers can be avoided. But this applies to all synthetic nanodiscs.

Figure 1 shows the amount of membrane protein of interest that was stabilized by a DIBMALP in comparison to a construct using the detergent DDM. As it can clearly be seen DDM has way fewer specific bands at the desired kDA values of around 40-60 kDa.

An alternative to traditional DIBMAs and their sensitivity to the presence of ions inside a buffer, are our modified DIBMAs with added Glucosamine or amino-functionalized diol. As figure 2 indicates, the increased tolerance of Ca2+ is necessary. Normally DIBMA starts to precipitate in Ca2+ holding buffers at concentrations of around 25 mM. Using DIBMA-Glycerol this tolerance increases to 50 mM. There is no precipitate visible at the bottom of the tube. In comparison, normal DIBMA shows a visible precipitate at 25 mM. In terms of Mg2+ tolerance traditional DIBMA and the Glycerol-DIBMA both show a high tolerance above 50 mM.
