Application


  • Barbeya oleoides Leaves Extracts: In Vitro Carbohydrate Digestive Enzymes Inhibition and Phytochemical Characterization.: Though indirectly related, this study utilizes methodologies where Triton X-100′s properties as a detergent can be crucial for the extraction and stabilization of bioactive compounds from plant sources, important for medicinal chemistry applications (Khojah et al., 2021).

  • Surface Plasmon Resonance Monitoring of Mono-Rhamnolipid Interaction with Phospholipid-Based Liposomes.: Explores the interaction of biomolecules with lipid membranes, where Triton X-100 plays a key role in forming and stabilizing these liposomes, essential for biochemists studying membrane dynamics and drug delivery systems (Belkilani et al., 2021).

  • Sampling the cultivation parameter space for the bacterial production of TLR1 intracellular domain reveals the multiple optima.: Discusses the use of Triton X-100 in protein purification processes, underlining its utility in optimizing conditions for the production of biologically active proteins, a common technique in biochemical research labs (Goncharuk et al., 2021).

Biochem/physiol Actions
