RE: [Protein-analysis] QUERY

[wajahat mahmood]

Hi Monica,

If your protein is in the pellets I hope you are using denaturing conditions to solubilize it before purification over Ni-NTA.

solubilize the protein in urea or guanidine for one hour and spin down to get a clear lysis solution before you proceed to further purification steps Ni-NTa or gel.

cheers

its not going into pellet due to hydrophobicity. It is forming inclusion bodies during overexpression.
You are required to dissolve the protein and refold it.
Please fiollow the procedure "how to refold protein from inclusion bodies"
Good luck with your work
