We have been using Strep-Tactin SuperFlow (high capacity) columns more than 100 times, even when run under preparative conditions with protein extracts from E. coli fermentations. Biotin binding to the engineered streptavidin is not irreversible but can be cured by extended washing. To check

A couple of people asked why the GST/His steps. The only way I can expressed this protein is by co-expression. Co-protein is GST tagged and my protein of interest is N-term His and C-term StrepTag. Even with the coexpression, there is a major degradation product, the reason why for the strep

Does anyone know how many times roughly you can re-use a Streptactin column? I know that contamination with biotin will destroy the column but the protein that I am using has gone through both a GST and Nickel purification steps before seeing the Streptactin column and I think lately that I
