Purification example<br />

Figure 22 shows a typical purification <strong>of</strong> GST fusion protein on GSTrap FF 1 ml with an<br />

SDS-PAGE analysis <strong>of</strong> the purified protein.<br />

Column: GSTrap FF, 1 ml<br />

Sample: 8 ml cytoplasmic extract from E. coli<br />

expressing a GST fusion protein<br />

Binding buffer: PBS, pH 7.3<br />

Elution buffer: 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 with 10 mM<br />

reduced glutathione<br />

Flow:<br />

1 ml/min<br />

Chromatographic<br />

procedure: 4 ml binding buffer, 8 ml sample,<br />

10 ml binding buffer, 5 ml elution buffer,<br />
