Sample:<br />

2 ml clarified E. coli homogenate expressing a M r 37 000 SH2-GST fusion protein with<br />

a thrombin cleavage site<br />

Columns:<br />

GSTrap FF, 1 ml <strong>and</strong> HiTrap Benzamidine FF (high sub), 1 ml<br />

Binding buffer: 20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.5<br />

High salt wash buffer: 20 mM sodium phosphate, 1.0 M NaCl, pH 7.5<br />

Benzamidine elution buffer: 20 mM p-aminobenzamidine in binding buffer<br />

GST elution buffer: 20 mM reduced glutathione, 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0<br />

Flow:<br />

0.5 ml/min<br />

System:<br />

ÄKTAprime<br />

Protease treatment: 20 units/ml thrombin (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) for 2 hours at room temperature<br />

Thrombin activity: S-2238 (Chromogenix, Haemochrom Diagnostica AB) was used as a substrate <strong>and</strong> its absorbance at<br />

405 nm was measured<br />
