Detergents are amphiphilic organic compounds soluble in water. Detergents possess a lipophilic tail and a hydrophilic head group. Detergents like Triton X-100 form stable interphases between hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances. This results in the solubilization of hydrophobic molecules in water. Detergents are used in research for cell lysis, isolation of poorly soluble proteins like trans-membrane receptors, membrane permeabilization and washing. Here you will find a wide array nonionic, kationic, anionic and zwitterionic detergents.
