To characterize the property of recombinant A-syn, the thrombin-cleaved A-syn was subjected to gel filtration chromatography on 10/300 GL Superdex 200 column (GE healthcare) using the biologic Duoflow system (Bio-Rad). The monomeric A-syn was collected and confirmed by another gel filtration. The elution volume of A-syn was determined using standard molecular mass markers (thyroglobulin, 670 kDa; γ-globulin, 158 kDa; ovalbumin, 44 kDa; myoglobin, 17 kDa; and vitamin B12, 1.35 kDa; Bio-Rad) on the same column. Western blotting of A-syn was carried out as previously described [39 (link)].
