Hi Harvey, Could it be that the activity you're measuring comes from a contaminant? Did you test the other fractions from SEC or IEX? Cheers, Alex 2011/3/16 Harvey Rodriguez > Dear all, > > Recently, I came across an obstacle on the purification and acitivty > measurement of my protein. My pr

Hi Harvey, Well, knowing nothing about your protein, allow me to ruminate anyway... It sounds like you are exploring the possibility of a metal ion or other cofactor being lost. This is a reasonable first thing to check, but your buffer exchange steps should allow small cofactors (smaller

I guess it depends on what your "activity" is. Can you divulge that? Could it be that Ni is necessary? Jacob On Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 11:28 AM, Harvey Rodriguez wrote: > Dear all, > > Recently, I came across an obstacle on the purification and acitivty > measurement of my protein. My protein was

Dear all, Recently, I came across an obstacle on the purification and acitivty measurement of my protein. My protein was expressed with an C terminal His tag in the HEK 293T cells and purified by nickel affinity, anion exchange and size exclucion chromatography. For every purification step, I pres
