Dear Gauri This may be the saturation point of your protein and beyond this it will start precipitating in a particular buffer. Try to set the crystallization trial (if it is your application ) and select those condition in which you see clear drop. Change the purification buffer with that

use the following  procedure. 1) immediately after use pass freshly prepared  cold reduce glutation 20mM , 1mM EDTA in 50mM tris ph8.0. 2-3 CV, 2) wash alternate with buffer 1 and buffer 2 (GE lifescience), 2 cv, 4-5 times, then 1M Nacl 2-3 cv 3) wash with pbs , 5 CV 4) wash with 1% triton,

Dear all Thanks for yours valuable suggestion. Just some addition information to make the query clear. 1)My protein has 14 cysteine residues. 2)It is not a metal binding protein. 3)I have added the protease inhibitor cocktail + PMSF during sonication and cleavage. I saw only one band of

I am working on 45 kd protein (pI 5.3) for crystallization . It is in pGEX vector.I do the expression (induction 24 degree 16 hrs) and purification from  Rosetta 2 DE3 cells (has additional rare codon).when I run the affinity chromatography purified protein (cleaved protein after removal of

sometime it does happen becoz of protein aggregation, or reducing environment. but it may be your protein color as well that visible during concentration     Vikrant       From: sandeep toskgu...@rediffmail.com To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Sent: Fri, 24

[ccp4bb] software for predicting protein solubility, stabililty and disorders

I want to do cloning of  a 40 Kd protein in pRSETA, and pGEX-KT vector. I don't have any idea about protein solubility, its multimeric form, stability  and disorder etc. There is nothing known in the literature also. Is there any software that can predict  these parameters, so that i can decide

Dear all I am working on purification of 14 kd protein(pI  8.3, basic protein)  that has MBP(maltose binding protein, 45 kd,) tag, and same protein in other vector(pGEX-KT) that has GST tag. During affinity purification in both cases I used 300mM nacl and 50 mM tris, pH 7.5 buffer throughout
