The molecular assembly of an integral membrane protein porin in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant, octyl glucoside, was characterized by using synchrotron radiation solution X-ray scattering measurements. The membrane protein was solubilized as a trimeric form at 7 and 6 mg/ml octyl glucoside (at and just below its critical micelle concentration). The higher order aggregates of the protein were observed at 5.4 mg/ml octyl glucoside. The scattering pattern suggests that the assembly of the aggregates was made in the plane direction.
