if you can figure out what is making your protein precipitate, you could put something in the collection tubes of the NiNTA column to prevent precipitation. For example a bit of concentrated buffer to change the pH, or EDTA. Another thing, you say your protein is pure after NiNTA, but it may stil

Hi, Regarding the second publication below on the optimum solubility screen, I was a new postdoc in Sung-Hou Kim's lab when the last parts of the work and manuscript was being prepared, and so did quite a few experiments using the screen in conjunction with DLS. It is worth trying them out bu

Hi, although most widely used, Tris-NaCl buffers may be acceptable for many but unfortunately by far not all proteins. The solubilty of a protein can be modulated by the use of the proper anions and cations. This all depends on the pH of the solution and the pI of the protein. Consult the

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
