[ccp4bb] recommendations_on_purification

2012-03-26 Thread Petros Giastas
Dear all, I am expressing a 6xHis tagged secreted protein in a fermentor in P. pastoris, using the standard minimal medium described in the invitrogen manual (plus PTM1). Following collection of the culture medium, I am having problems with purification of the protein as only a small fraction

Hi Petros, It's possible but unlikely that your media contains enough metal ions to matter. More likely options include protein issues like overgkycosylation, proteolysis (removal of the tag) or severe aggregation. Since you are not experiencing this in BMGY, I wonder why not to supplement your

I suspect that sometimes the protein chaperones the tag, which is solvent exposed some fraction of the time. Try very slow loading or batch binding. Kendall Nettles On Mar 26, 2012, at 8:15 AM, Petros Giastas peg...@pasteur.grmailto:peg...@pasteur.gr wrote: Dear all, I am expressing a
