This video demonstrates the cation exchange chromatography technique to isolate recombinant protein from the insect cell protein lysate.

Protocol

1. Protein purification Prepare buffers A–H, as seen in Table 1. Buffer solution Buffering agent (all 20 mM) pH NaCl (mM) Imidazole (mM) MgCl2 TCEP <…

Representative Results

Figure 1: SDS-PAGE gels of the purification process. (A) IMAC capture from lysate. FNTA/B are the dark bands migrating at ~48 kDa and the His6-MBP-tev-KRAS4b is the dark band migrating at ~67 kDa. M = protein molecular weight ladder; T = total protein; L = clarified lysate/column load; F = column flow through. Fractions are eluted with an increasing imidazole concentration gradient. (B</str…
