Though they are often ionic, a nonionic example of these is Triton X-100, and this class of compounds remains in crystalline form below the (*) Krafft temperature.
A protein contributing to the effects of this class of molecules is KL4, which promotes phase separation. SP-B and SP-C increase the rate at which this type of substance spreads over a cell surface in the body, and DPPC is one of the strongest natural examples of it the body secretes. Though they are often ionic, a nonionic example of these is Triton X-100, and this class of compounds remains in crystalline form below the (*) Krafft temperature. One molecule of this type is often used prior to electrophoresis to denature proteins, and is abbreviated SDS. This class of molecules allows otherwise immiscible liquids to be mixed thanks to both hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions. For 10 points, name this type of molecule that lowers surface tension and thus can act as an emulsifier or detergent.
