The polybasic head indicative of your protein to have some possible membrane association? Try a detergent in your buffers might help. Also some of the polybasic head for protein need lipid association to be happy (PI and PCh)? Padayatti On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 6:27 PM, Jahan Alikhajeh wrote: >

Why not adopt a classical purification strategy? IEX-HIC-GEC. His-tag not required. With your protein strongly basic, anion exchange seems like a likely first step. After IEX, hydrophobic interaction or salt precipitation followed by gel exclusion is normally enough for well-expressed proteins. Ro

You can try using affinity tags on both the N- and C-termini of the protein, eg. MBP on N and His on C. ho > Date:    Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:53:14 + > From:    Kn Ly > Subject: purification > > Hello everyone, > > I am expressing a 100 KDa eukaryotic membrane protein in E coli. The prot= > ein

Hi Kien, As Artem pointed out earlier. Are you sure that your protein folded correctly. You want to make sure that the protein is expressed in lipid membrane not in inclusion body. If so, considering changing the host might be a good idea. Also, did you use any kind of detergent when you extract

Dear Kien, you might also try a different resin/ metal ion. If I remember correctly, the technician where I did my PhD had much better results with a Talon resin using Co instead of Ni: you can use much less Imidazole, only 5-10mM for washing and 50mM for elution. If you can go back to cloni

Try running the Ni column as fast as possible and putting concentrated EDTA in the fraction collector tubes before you start, to minimize opportunities for metal-dependent proteases. It may not be a magic bullet but it can't hurt. Phoebe Original message >Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:53:1

Hi Kien- Are you basing extensive proteolysis (degradation) on an SDS-PAGE result alone? Are you monitoring the elution profile from Ni/NTA? Do you see numerous A280 peaks for your elution? Sample prep of membrane proteins for SDS-PAGE is very trial-and-error. Heating the samples may cause weird ag

Hi, I wouldn't call this a standard procedure - generally speaking the most important two parameters you have to consider are: the protein/ligand affinity and the supply of the ligand. For tightly bound ligands, you may be able to just add the ligand once (i.e. during cell growth and expression
