6.5L 2xTY broth with 100microg/ml ampicillin was inoculated with 10ml overnight culture. Cells were grown at 37degC until OD600 reached 1.0, then 1mM IPTG was added. Cells were cultured for a further 3h, then harvested by centrifugation (4500g, 10min) |

The cell pellet was resuspended in wash buffer, sonicated and centrifuged (17700g, 20min). The insoluble fraction was sonicated and centrifuged twice more in wash buffer, then three times in wash buffer without Triton X-100. The protein was then dssolved in solubilization buffer to a concentration of no more than 10mg/ml and allowed to equilibrate for several hours at 4degC. The protein was then diluted dropwise with stirring at 4degC in a 50x volume of refolding buffer and was allowed to equilibrate overnight. The resulting solution was centrifuged to remove insoluble matieral, then concentrated and purified further by affinity chromatography using iminobiotin-agarose. |
