Best Answer

One method that researchers developed to separate proteins is to use detergents.

Detergents are small amphipathic molecules that tend to form in water.

detergents break up plasma membranes, they coat hydrophobic portions of membrane proteins and phospholipids.

treating a plasma membrane with a detergent is an effective way to isolate membrane proteins so they can be purified and studied in detail
