| For unlabelled protein, expression was performed in baffled flasks, with cells grown to an attenuance (D) at 600 nm of 0.6 in superbroth containing 50 µg·mL1 kanamycin. Expression was induced with 1 mm IPTG. Cells were harvested, 3 h after induction, by centrifugation (6200 g, 4 °C, 30 min). |

| Inclusion bodies were prepared via cell homogenization and centrifugation at 20 000 g, and solubilized using 6 m guanidine hydrochloride. The soluble inclusion body preparation was then purified using Ni-nitrilotriacetic acid resin (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). Protein binding was performed at pH 8.0, washing at pH 6.3, and elution at pH 4.5. The eluted protein was quantified by absorbance at 280 nm, diluted to 0.1 mg·mL1, then refolded by extensive dialysis against 25 mM sodium phosphate, 50 mM sodium chloride, 5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, pH 6.7. |
