Especially if you're dealing with lysate, I suspect the best way to do it is with magnetic Ni beads that you lift up and out of the gunk, to help avoid false positives from aggregating stuff that SDS/urea/guan would all elute. But why do you want X to remain on the column/beads? Removing Y but

Use Urea - it does not interfere with gels etc. Additionally, you should consider covalent immobilization of protein X - using activated resins. Amine and carboxylic acid immobilization is common, however my all-time favorite is iodoacetamide-activated resin reacting with SH on the protein (if you

Hi Jacob Why not try with urea and for this type of studies I would probably use batch with the IMAC resin and not run the samples over a column. cheers Preben On 23/12/2010, at 16.11, Jacob Keller wrote: Dear Crystallographers, I am interested in doing a type of pull-down experiment

In my experience, either urea or guanidinium crashes out in gels. I can't remember--which one is it? I am thinking guanidinium. (If the answer to this email saves one grad student from the aggravation of such a phenomenon, it will have been worth it...) JPK On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 9:31 AM,
