Lipid Y
Lipid Y is a potent monosaccharide which contains two bromines per chain. lipid Y binds to a tryptophan residue in a membrane protein and then quenches the fluorescence of the tryptophan residue.

Membrane Protein Extraction Using Detergents and Chaotropes
Membrane protein extraction with detergents and chaotropes solubilizes lipid-bilayer-associated proteins by disrupting protein-lipid and protein-protein interactions while maintaining proteins in a soluble state for downstream electrophoresis, purification, or mass spectrometry. Chaotropes such as urea and thiourea improve solubilization of difficult proteins, while nonionic and zwitterionic detergents such as CHAPS, ASB-14, SB 3-10, MEGA-10, dodecyl maltoside, and Triton X-100 differ in extraction efficiency depending on sample type and membrane protein properties.
