Nanodisc membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs)

Membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs) are typically used for the reconstitution of already isolated proteins. A variety of membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs) are available that can be assembled to nanodiscs of different sizes to accommodate proteins with varying numbers of transmembrane domains. His-tagged MSPs allow for easy detection of the nanodisc and even immobilization on SPR chips. On the other hand, if the protein of interest itself carries a his-tag, we recommend to use untagged MSP proteins. For use in cell-free expression reactions, assembled nanodiscs are available.
