Dear Fred --
just to check... are you sure you have the His-tag? Might have been
cleaved somehow? You might want to increase the number of His in the
tag as well.
HTH.

Hi ccp4 list,
I am trying to purify a his-tag protein by metal affinity
chromatography. The protein was expressed in inclusion bodies and
its his-tag doesn't bind the Qiagen Ni resin in denatured
conditions (urea 8M or GndHCl 6M). Playing with NaCl and detergents
didn't help much.
Any help is appreciated.
Fred
