[RASMB] Use of SDS to study peptide

[Damien Thévenin]

Hello all,

I study transmembrane (TM) peptides interaction in various detergents  
(DPC, C8E5, C14-betaine,...) and I would like to know whether SDS is  
an suitable detergent for AUC. Indeed, I haven't seen any paper  
reporting the use of SDS to study TM peptides by AUC. Furthermore,  
SDS is my detergent of choice when I study these same peptides by CD  
or fluorescence. So, does SDS have properties that make it unsuitable  
for AUC?
Thanks for your help and insights.

Damien
