Re: [ccp4bb] [OFF-Topic] GST-tagged protein refold protocol

2025-03-13 Thread Marc Graille
Dear Rafael, do you know if your protein interacts with another protein? This could be critical. I have been studying proteins that require a protein partner to be expressed as soluble protein. Co-expressing both proteins in E. coli shifts the expression from insoluble to soluble. Hope this h

Hello Rafael, I would give one more by reducing the temperature for the expression.  I am assuming that you did the expression at 37 oC. I would start expression at 30 oC and reduce it further after induction to 25 oC or so and let it grow longer.  But refolding the protein is also possible.  T

The problem is not to ensure confidentiality of what one writes. It is to ensure that one can write publicly (within some limits, see below) without fear. To go back to the original conversation, I think we have here an example of a “pendulum effect”. The onslaught on what cannot be said

Hi Dave, I should have mentioned that, but yes, I tried 16 degrees overnight and even up to 40 hours. The _expression_ level is great, majority is in the pellet though and the elution fraction is far from desirable for my kinetic assays. Best wishes _

These discussions remind me of a talk I heard from Shekar Mande, I think, about the role of crystallographers in the wars around the world, particularly how this community has stood up for fairness. I have never felt prouder to be part of this community. I believe that as scientists, we also ha
