Hi Maria, As mentioned by Tony, it could be a chaperonin. Having little of ATP (0.5mM or less) and Mg2+ (1mM) in lysis buffer might help. Good Luck, Partha 2012/3/22 SANCHEZ BARRENA, MARIA JOSE > Dear all, > > I am trying to express a eukatiotic protein (E. coli codon optimized > sequence) wit

Dear all, I am trying to express a eukatiotic protein (E. coli codon optimized sequence) with a GST tag at the N-terminus. I always get my overexpressed protein and a contaminant around 60kDa. This contaminant is not washed out of the column when washing glutathione beads with 1M NaCl-buffer.
