PMA
Polymethacrylate Copolymer (N−C4−52−6.9)
Perform Structure and Functional Studies on a Variety of Membrane Proteins
Advantages of PMA Based Lipid Nanodiscs:
PMA is more stable than SMA at lower pH and in the presence of divalent metal ions
PMA has a mild effect on lipid acyl chains
Spontaneously Forms Lipid Nanodiscs through Fragmentation of the Lipid Bilayer
Amenable to Biophysical Characterization using CD, UV/vis, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy
Ability to Product Nanodiscs of Various Sizes
Larger PMA Polymer Nanodiscs can be aligned in a magnetic field allowing for solid-state NMR studies on membrane proteins or peptides
