Introduction

 

Biochemistry, as an interdisciplinary field of biotechnology and chemical engineering, is committed to utilizing biological systems or their components for industrial scale chemical production. Decyl glucoside, as a non-ionic surfactant, plays an increasingly important role in the field of biochemistry due to its mildness, biocompatibility, and biodegradability.

 

1. Protein stabilization

 

In protein engineering, decyl glucoside is used to stabilize protein structure and prevent its denaturation under extreme conditions. It plays a crucial role in protein extraction, purification, and storage by forming complexes with proteins to protect active sites.

 

2. Enzyme catalytic process

 

Decyl glucoside acts as an auxiliary agent in enzyme catalytic processes, improving the solubility of enzymes in non-aqueous media and enhancing their catalytic efficiency. It reduces non-specific aggregation between enzyme molecules, prolongs their lifespan, especially in organic synthesis and biotransformation processes.

 

3. Biopharmaceuticals

 

In the field of biopharmaceuticals, decyl glucoside serves as a stabilizer and emulsifier to improve drug stability and solubility. It is particularly important in the formulation of protein and peptide drugs, reducing degradation during production and storage processes.

 

4. Cell culture technology

 

During animal cell culture, decyl glucoside acts as a cell protective agent to reduce the damage of shear force and surface tension to cells. It maintains cell membrane integrity, improves cell culture efficiency and product quality.

 

5. Biosensors

 

In the development of biosensors, decyl glucoside serves as a signal transduction molecule to improve sensor sensitivity and selectivity. It improves the interaction between biometric components and target molecules, enhancing sensor performance.

 

6. Surface modification of biomaterials

 

In the surface modification of biomaterials, decyl glucoside enhances the biocompatibility of the material, promotes cell adhesion and growth. This is crucial for the development of new biomedical materials such as artificial blood vessels and bone implant materials.

 

7. Environmental Biotechnology

 

Due to its biodegradability, decyl glucoside is used as a bioreactor additive in environmental biotechnology, promoting microbial growth and metabolism, and improving the biodegradation efficiency of pollutants.

 

8. Derivative development

 

The free hydroxyl groups in the molecule of decyl glucoside make it easy to derivatize and further synthesize various bioactive molecules, expanding its application range in biochemistry.

 

Epilogue

 

The multifunctionality and biocompatibility of decyl glucoside make it have broad application prospects in the field of biochemistry. With the continuous progress of biotechnology, it is expected that its application scope will further expand, making greater contributions to the development of the biochemical industry.
