Thanks Jim and Bert for all your suggestions. I plan to increase time and/or amount of DDM and see what happens before switching detergents. I'll keep the suggestions about other detergents and 96-detergent screen in the back of my mind. Bert, I noted your suggestion of also using a larger amount

Raji, First, I would suggest increasing the solubilization time by attempting solubilization overnight at 4 degrees. I would also suggest a few more detergent choices. In addition to DDM, my other favories are OG and Elugent (a mixture of several detergents) for extraction from *E. coli* membran

Dear BBers, Sorry for the non-ccp4 post. I'd like to hear tips and suggestions from the membrane protein folks in the community. I am currently purifying two different membrane proteins expressed in E. coli. While I am able to extract practically all of my first protein from the cell membrane in
