Listed below are several protein production case studies utilizing an E. coli expression system. For more details regarding our custom protein production services, click here. If you would like to browse the workflow utilized by our team in our E. coli protein production process, click here.

  • Protein requirement:

    • No tag, refolding of insoluble protein, high purity >98% by SEC-HPLC, endotoxin <50EU/mg

  • Strategy: 

    • Inclusion body solubilization

    • Refolding optimization 

    • No tag purification via IEX purification

    • Endotoxin removal: inclusion body washing, Q Sepharose FF column, endotoxin removal beads

  • Turnaround time: 6 weeks

  • Deliverables: 

    • 20mg no-tag protein

    • Purity >98%

    • Endotoxin <50EU/mg

Data
