| Refolding Protocol | Inclusion bodies were solubilized in solubilization buffer, and incubated for 5min at 55degC then for 4h at room temperature. Refolding was preformed by continuous dialysis, against refolding buffer. Protein was then concentrated by tangential-flow ultrafiltration. Centrifugation was then preformed after which supernatant was purified by gel filtration chromatography using S-200 column equilibrated with 50mM NH4HCO3 and 150mM NaCL, pH 8.0. Fractions containing protein were then pooled and dialyzed to remove NaCl, before being loaded onto a HiTrap Q anion exchange column equilibrated with 20mM TrisHCl, pH 8.0 |
