non-ionic detergent

non-ionic detergent
Detergent in which the hydrophilic head-group is uncharged. In practice hydrophilicity is usually conferred by -OH groups. Examples are the polyoxyethylene p-t-octyl phenols known as Tritons, and octyl glucoside. Non-ionic detergents can be used to solubilize intrinsic membrane proteins with less tendency to denature them than charged detergents. They do not usually cause disassembly of structures such as microfilaments and microtubules that depend on protein-protein interactions.
