| Expression Strain | OrigamiB(DE3)pLacI | 
| Expression Temp | 37.0 | 
| Expression Time | 12-16h | 
| Expression Vector | pET29a(+) | 
| Expression Protocol | Cells were grown in Circle Grow medium (Q-Biogen), expression was induced with 1mM IPTG when OD600 reached 0.5-0.7. Cells were grown overnight at 37degC then harvested by centrifugation (15min x 5000g). |

| Refolding Protocol | The cells were lysed using BugBuster reagent according to the manufacturer instructions of the manufacturer. The inclusion bodies were were centrifuged and washed with BugBuster reagent, followed by CelLytic B reagent (Sigma) diluted 1:10 with water, and then finally 1x HisBind buffer (Novagen). The concentration of protein was determined by RP HPLC. Synthetic peptide (aa.18-125 or was aa.18-127) was added to the solubilized inclusion bodies at a molar ratio of 2:1 peptide:protein. The protein/peptide mixture was then refolded in refolding buffer and then purified using ion-exchange chromatography and RP HPLC. |
