Dear all, Sorry for the off-topic question... What can be done to avoid a protein going inside inclusion body.The gene is cloned in pET30a with C-ter his tag and expressed in BL21-DE3 from 37 to 18C for 3-4 hr with .5mM of IPTG,it is going to inclusion body.All suggestions are welcome. Thanx in

Also worth trying a lower IPTG level ~ 0.1mM and or different media, e.g. TB, SOC or m9 instead of LB, it's all a bit random but sometimes these things can make a difference. Adding 3% EtOH on induction worked for me once, it's supposed to shock the cells and stimulate chaperone

Hi Weijun and all, Anyone tried the Stratagene's ArcticExpress^(TM) Competent Cells for expression of proteins at low temperature (13 degree). The company claims that the cells encode chaperonins Cpn60 and Cpn10 and they can enhance the protein folding and solubility. Hongmin Dear All, I

Dear All, I got enclusion body in many cases when I tried to express human proteins in E coli. I would like some suggestions on how to go about it. I would also like to try co-expression of GroEL/GroES or DnaJ/DnaK, and would like to know where to get the plasmids. Any help or comments would be

Hi Weijun, you can get a kit from Takara (chaperone kit #3340) which has five different chaperone plasmids (combinations of various chaperone). It worked for me assofar that I could express huge amounts of the chaperones, but my target protein was either not expressed at all any more (seems as if

Dear Weijun Have a look at our REFOLD database - there are some examples of chaperone assisted refolding as well as many protocols for refolding of disulphide-rich proteins http://refold.med.monash.edu.au good luck ashley On 24/03/2007, at 12:23 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Weijun,
