Which one CTAB or SDS surfactant is the good protein stabilizer or denaturant at lower concentration .. at pH 7.4..?
Domenico Sanfelice
The CATB and SDS are not considered protein stabilisers, they are detergents so they will denature your protein, however for some proteins like membrane protein or peptides they can help to stabilise the protein in low concentration ~1%.
CATB has higher toxicity so you might want to use SDS, or other safe detergents. You might want to read the attached paper.

Check this attached pdf in which SDS acts as a stabilizer at low concentration while it destabilizes at higher concentrations. Hope, this may help you.
