Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100 are both detergents that can be used to lyse cells to study individual components. Your first project as a Ph.D. student is to create an in vitro model that allows you to study the mechanism of action of a novel glucose transporter protein. You use SDS to lyse the cells.
