Hi Jenny,

I think your problem is caused by a high protein concentration.
Since your protein is soluble before the His column (which concentrates the
protein). Try to find a stabilization buffer, add glycerol or change pH.
Another crucial parameter could be the redox environement. Which will be
difficult to test because you use a his tag. Change the tag to GST, you can
then use 10mM DTT in your buffer.
I would not recommand the use of guanidine, it will unfold your protein...

Good luck

Alex

Hi All,

I'm trying to purify a protein which is expressed in soluble form.It's a
His-tag protein, so when I run His-column, it's really easy to clog.In the
next step size exclusion purification, the protein come off at the void
volume, which suggests that the protein is severely aggregated.Does any one
have any suggestions that I can modify the  purification condition so as to
avoid aggregation problem?Or can I add GuHCl during His column purification
so that it won't clog so easily?Thanks a lot.

Jenny
