Thanks a lot for all your suggestions. But how much DTT or BME shall i add. Also i fear that these will interfere in the formulation and how shall i get rid of them then. As for GPC my protein is 19KDa and diemr will be approx 38 KDa and it is difficult to separate them without losing the protein so i am searching for alternative method.
