Size exclusion columns

Manufactured by GE Healthcare

Size exclusion columns are laboratory instruments used for the separation and purification of macromolecules, such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids, based on their size and molecular weight. These columns contain a porous stationary phase that allows smaller molecules to penetrate into the pores, while larger molecules pass through the column more rapidly. This size-based separation technique enables the isolation and concentration of target analytes from complex mixtures.

Recombinant Protein Purification Protocol

Protein expression was induced by adding 1 mM β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at an OD600 of 0.8. Cell pellets were resuspended in 20 mL lysis buffer, followed by sonication (QSONICA Ultrasonic Processor; 12 min, 50% amplitude, 1 s on/off) for cell lysis. Centrifugation at 12 000 rpm for 45 min at 4 °C (Sorvall LYNX 6000) and filtration (0.45 μm cellulose acetate syringe filters) was used to clear the lysates. 5 mL HisTrap columns (GE Healthcare, Vienna, Austria) for immobilized metal affinity chromatography on an ÄKTA pure system (GE Healthcare, Vienna, Austria) were used to purify the proteins. HisTrap columns were equilibrated using lysis buffer. Cleared E. coli lysates were applied to the columns at a flow rate of 2 mL min−1 and contaminants were removed using washing buffer. Finally, proteins were eluted with purification buffer. Proteins were further purified at room temperature using size exclusion columns (10/300 200 pg, GE Healthcare) on an ÄKTA pure system (GE Healthcare) with SEC buffer. Finally, protein concentration was calculated using absorbance at 280 nm, determined by NanoDrop 1000 UV/vis spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Vienna, Austria).

Recombinant Expression of GEPIIs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant expression of GEPIIs was performed using pETM-11 bacterial expression vectors. Proteins were expressed in E. coli BL-21 (DE3) cells. At an OD600 of 0.8, protein expression was induced by adding 1 mM β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and cells were incubated at room temperature. After 4 h cells were pelleted and cells were re-suspended in 20 ml of lysis buffer. Then cells were lysed by sonication and cleared by centrifugation. Proteins were purified using a 5 ml HisTrap column (GE Healthcare, Vienna, Austria) for immobilized metal affinity chromatography on an ÄKTA pure system (GE Healthcare, Vienna, Austria) at room temperature. HisTrap columns were equilibrated using lysis buffer, E. coli lysates were applied on the columns and washed with washing buffer. Proteins were eluted with purification buffer and the His6-Protein A tag was cleaved overnight at 4 °C using 2% (w/w) of 1 mg ml-1 recombinant His-tagged TEV protease. Processed proteins were re-purified from the fusion tags and TEV protease at room temperature using size exclusion columns (16/600 200 pg, GE Healthcare) on an ÄKTA pure system (GE Healthcare). Subsequently proteins were eluted using elution buffer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
