Tris(2-hydroxyethyl)methylammonium methyl sulphate (Tris-MES) is a zwitterionic detergent widely employed in various scientific and laboratory applications. As a non-ionic surfactant, it remains unaffected by changes in ionic strength due to lacking any charge. This versatile detergent is also instrumental in protein extraction from cells and protein purification processes. The distinctive mechanism of action displayed by Tris(2-hydroxyethyl)methylammonium methyl sulphate stems from its zwitterionic nature. Through the formation of micelles, it effectively solubilizes proteins and lipids significant molecules. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments of the detergent attract one another, resulting in micelle formation. Hydrophobic portions are drawn to hydrophobic regions of the molecule, while hydrophilic portions interact with the hydrophilic regions. This intricate interplay ultimately leads to the solubilization of the target molecule.
