Hi Meg, I think with your pi you may also test a Q-Sepharose at neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Maybe your protein is more comfortable with this condition compared to a pH of 4.5. As mentioned befor your protein is most likely precipitated on the column. Best regards Christian Am Dienstag

Hi Meg, If the bigger peak is appearing when you wash with 1M NaOH, i think your protein is precipitated on the the column. If you have your protein relatively pure after the precedent step, maybe you can try different buffer. You can probably find a better buffer than this one. If your prot
