Mark, you can try low percentage of ethanol as well, as it increases the expression of some chaperones (can't find the paper right now!). Alex > On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 2:08 AM, Mark J van Raaij > wrote: > >> Dear All, >> >> We are considering trying additives to bacterial cultures to see if the

Dear Mark, I have had quite a lot of success by adding small molecules during cell lysis to aid in solubility. From screening 100+ condition we found trehalose, betaine and mannitol to be the standouts with aiding in solubility. Here is the relevant paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23285

Dear Mark, we have had a slight success increasing the solubility of some of our proteins adding high concentration of salt (in addition to betaine and glucose) to the culture media, as described in this paper http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17126029 Sergio 2013/2/26 Mark J van Raaij > Dea

Dear All, We are considering trying additives to bacterial cultures to see if they improve solubility of some proteins we express: L-arginine, glycyl-glycine, sorbitol and betaine. I would be glad to receive recommendations and experiences, also if they haven't worked. Side-question: should we
