Hi Dipankar - I will echo Thuy's suggestion of higher glycerol concentration in your refolding buffer. A protocol I used in a previous lab (for refolding antibody ScFv fragments) steps down gradually over 3 days from 10%-5%-0% glycerol in the dialysis buffer, from an initial sample of inclusion bodies dissolved in 6 M GdnHCl and diluted to 2.4 M GdnHCl with Tris buffer. Your protein may need even higher concentrations.
