Glucamide detergents are non-ionic, are transparent in the UV region, and possess relatively high CMC values. Therefore, they are ideal for use as membrane protein solubilizers.
Isothiocyanobenzyl-EDTA adds EDTA moieties to proteins through their amine groups. The EDTA-tagged protein can then be labeled with heavy metal ions and radioactive metals, such as 111In and 99Tc, and used for immunoimaging.
