CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate) bụ ihe a na-ejikarị eme ihe na biochemistry na usoro ihe ọmụmụ ihe omimi.Ọ bụ ncha zwitterionic, nke pụtara na o nwere ma otu ebubo nke ọma na nke na-adịghị mma.
A maara CHAPS maka ike ya ịgbazi na ịkwado protein protein, na-eme ka ọ baa uru maka ngwa dị iche iche dị ka mmịpụta protein, ịdị ọcha na njirimara.Ọ na-akpaghasị mmekọrịta nke lipid-protein, na-ekwe ka e wepụta protein protein n'ime obodo ha.
N'adịghị ka ihe nchacha ndị ọzọ, CHAPS dị obere ma ọ naghị ewepụ ọtụtụ protein, na-eme ka ọ bụrụ nhọrọ magburu onwe ya maka idowe nhazi protein na ọrụ n'oge nnwale.Ọ nwekwara ike inye aka gbochie nchịkọta protein.
A na-ejikarị CHAPS eme ihe na usoro dị ka SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), ilekwasị anya nke isoelectric, na nchapụta ọdịda anyanwụ.A na-ejikwa ya ugboro ugboro n'ọmụmụ ihe metụtara enzymes na-ejikọta akpụkpọ ahụ, ntụgharị mgbaàmà, na mmekọrịta protein-lipid.
