Hexyltrimethylammonium bromide is a cationic surfactant renowned for its versatile applications in scientific research and laboratory experiments. This quaternary ammonium salt consists of a hexyl group bonded to a trimethylammonium cation. Its distinct properties, such as the capability to solubilize and stabilize proteins and its antimicrobial effects, have made it indispensable in various fields, including biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology. Its mechanism involves the creation of a hydrophobic layer on the surface of proteins and DNA molecules, effectively preventing their interaction with other substances in the solution.
