Notes: Dodecylphosphocholine is a detergent that is commonly used for membrane protein structure determination using NMR.{36909} It has also been used to generate membrane mimetic micelles and to characterize pore formation by the influenza M2 transmembrane domain within a synthetic membrane.{36910} Dodecylphosphocholine micelles induce amyloid fibril formation by the prion protein (PrP) β-strand (PrP (110-136)).{36911} Dodecylphosphocholine has a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of approximately 1.5 mM.
