Hi Alex, as you have a DNA binding protein does it have a high pI? If so, good old ion exchange with an S-sepharose column should do it.

Have you tried purifying your protein over heparin columns?

Can anyone recommend an immobilized dsDNA chromatographic resin for purification of DNA-binding proteins? GE seems to have something - I was wondering if people have other recommendations? In the age of GST and His tags etc., these are not very much used, but I do not have a tag in this case...
