  1. Chemistry in action….Or….Ask your friendly chemist…

  2. DETERGENTSAmphiphiles, containing a lipophilic portion and a hydrophilic portionLower the interfacial energy between unlike phasesEmulsify or solubilize aggregated particles I like fat! I like water!

  3. More about detergent termsLipophilic portion is also referred to as “hydrophobic” tailHydrophilic portion is also referred to as “polar” headTypes: nonionic, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic

  4. Detergents: Ionic vs non-ionicDenaturing vs non-denaturingSwords (denaturing): “pointy” hydrophobic ends, ionic polar endsGloves (non-denaturing): bulky, non-penetrating hydrophobic ends, non-ionic or zwitterionic polar ends. SDS Triton X-100
