1,2-DIOLEOYL-SN-GLYCERO-3-[N-(5-AMINO-1-CARBOXYPENTYL)IMINODIACETIC ACID SUCCINYL] (NICKEL SALT)

Uses

18:1 DGS-NTA(Ni) has been used for the preparation of liposomes.

Biological Activity

1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-[(N-(5-amino-1-carboxypentyl)iminodiacetic acid)succinyl] nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) (18:1 DGS-NTA(Ni)) is useful in structural biology especially to bind recombinant histidine tagged proteins. Though useful, being nanoparticulate it has stability problems in biological samples. So NTA-lipid conjugate is majorly used as liposomes or as a coating to nanoparticle. DGS-NTA (Ni) based nanosize multillamelar vesicles (NMVs) are potent vaccine delivery system.
