Hey Praveen There are wonderful advices in all the emails. Having over 8 years experience in protein purification, i still admire the way Antonio Ariza has summarized a work flow. You shall need to devise a strategy to optimzie the purification protocol. I could not resist to ask, why are not usin

Likely, the protein is pH sensitive. You may chain the anion and cation columns together for protein separation, then you don't need to use Imidazole. P.S. Tris pH 7.5 (RT) is ~ pH 8.2 in cold room On Sat, Dec 24, 2016 at 2:52 AM, Praveen Tripathi < tripathipraveen2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dea

Hi, Check pI vs pH and try different pH. Can also try room temp purification. Try lower salt conc. Is it a DNA-binding protein? Also consider adding a ligand or partner if known. Your 10% glycerol should help to improve solubility but you can also try 15% glycerol, which should also help in st

Dear Praveen, Here's the summary I give to students when I introduce them to the wonders of protein purification. It's a bit long (so ... not really a summary, LOL) but some of it might help you if you're new to this. Many people don't use removable His-tags as these tags are quite small an

Dear all, I am graduate student working on a functional protein which i have cloned in pET-28a vector for recombinant protein production in E.coli expression system. The expressed protein is purified on Ni-NTA resins with Imidazole gradient. Surprisingly, i am getting distinct visible white precipi
