PS In fact, the protein I mentioned, was not his-tagged, and first purification step I used (after streptomycin sulphate precipitation of DNA and dialysis) was on DEAE-sepharose at pH 8. In this, the protein surprisingly bound, I would guess via bound nucleic acid contaminants, so in effect the

Hola Careina, filtering won't help much against aggregation, it just removes the larger aggregates, but the protein may still form small aggregates that pass the filter. and remember the pI from the sequence is only an estimation and may or may not be close to the real pI, which can only be me

Dear ccp4 bulletin board Sorry for off topic question. I'm working with a protein with pI 9.5 and yet it will not bind to a cm sepharose column when equilibrated at pH 6.5. I have removed all salt from the buffer but it still will not bind. I wonder if anyone has suggestions as to why this coul
