Cells grown in 750ml of LB media containing 100microg/l ampicillin and induced. After incubation cells were harvested by centrifugation(10,000g, 20 min), resuspended in 40ml of BPER containing protease inhibitors, and frozen.
Cells were lysed on thawing by the addition of 280 microL of buffer A (0.71M MgCl2, 0.14M DTT,14.3mM ZnCl2 + 10 000 units DNase I and 8mg, lysozyme. This mixture was then incubated for 45min at 22degC, prior to centrifugation to obtain inclusion bodies(47,000g, 30min).

Pellets were then resuspended in 40mL of wash buffer A, with gentle stirring at 4degC for 30min. This mixture was then centrifuged(47,000g, 30min), before resulting pellets were then resuspended in 40ml of Wash Buffer B with 0.1% NP-40 and incubated for 30min. This mixture was then separated into equal volumes and pelleted.
Pellets were resuspended in 9.8 ml solubilization buffer, with gentle stirring for 30min at 22degC. Insoluble material was removed by centrifugation(16,000g, 10min). 25ml of pre-refolding buffer (50mM Tris-HCL, pH 8.0, 0.5% NP40, 5mM MgCl2, 100microM ZnCl2, 1 mM DTT, 1 mM ATP) was then added at 1 ml at a time over 30min. The mixture was allowed to stand on ice for 30min prior to overnight dialysis against refolding buffer at 4degC.
