Description
MSP1E3D1 "Ultra Bright" is a membrane scaffold protein (MSP) derived from apolipoprotein A-I that wraps around a phospholipid bilayer patch to form stable, water-soluble nanodiscs, enabling detergent-free solubilization and stabilization of membrane proteins in a near-native lipid environment. Its defining feature is the addition of three tryptophan residues in sequence, resulting in a significantly increased intrinsic fluorescence of the scaffold protein itself.

| Hazards | Product is not classified as hazardous according to (EC) No 1272/2008 [CLP].A Material Safety Data Sheet is provided. |
| Recommended usage | The reduced UV absorption at 280 nm makes MSP1D1 "Ultra Dark" particularly advantageous over standard MSPs and alternative solubilization agents such as AASTY or SMA, enabling reliable UV-Vis based concentration determination and significantly reduced background interference in fluorescence-based assays and label-free detection methods. Beyond its spectroscopic advantages, MSP1D1 "Ultra Dark" is well suited for Cryo-EM, ELISA, and protein-protein interaction studies where unrestricted ligand access is required, and is further compatible with cell-free expression systems and a broad range of biomedical, proteomic, and protein biochemistry applications. |

FAQ
Can I get the datasheet for the MSP1D1 “Ultra Dark” protein?
Is this the correct MSP product for my membrane protein?
This cannot be answered easily as every membrane protein performs differently with each nanodisc size and phospholipid. It usually requires a screening process before. Remember that membrane proteins with fewer transmembrane domains (TMD) require a smaller nanodisc, while a high number of TMDs need a larger nanodisc.
Why are there different origins for the MSP protein and do they work differently?
First, no they all work the same. Do not worry. Second, the origin of the MSP protein is of importance e.g. western blots. As the secondary antibody is usually against a species e.g anti-mouse. To avoid unwanted cross reactions the origin of the MSP protein must be known.
I have never worked with MSP nanodiscs before. Can you tell me more about them?
Of course! We created THIS MSP NANODISC GUIDE PAGE, for this purpose. Have a look at it!
Are there other options to stabilize membrane proteins besides MSP nanodiscs?
Yes, there are. We recommend synthetic copolymer nanodiscs greatly! Have a look at THIS GUIDE PAGE to learn more.
