Recombinant proteins (RPs) are commonly expressed in bacteria followed by solubilization and chromatography. Purified RP yield can be diminished by losses at any step with very different changes in methods that can improve the yield. Time and labor can therefore be saved by first identifying the specific reason for the low yield. This study describes a new solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance approach to RP quantitation in whole cells or cell extracts without solubilization or purification. The method is straightforward and inexpensive and requires only ∼50 mL culture and a low-field spectrometer.
重组蛋白(RPs)通常在细菌中表达,然后进行溶解和色谱分离。纯化的 RP 产量可能会在任何步骤中损失,而不同的方法可以提高产量,从而导致产量变化非常大。因此,通过首先确定低产量的具体原因,可以节省时间和劳动力。本研究描述了一种新的固态核磁共振方法,无需溶解或纯化即可在全细胞或细胞提取物中定量 RP。该方法简单、廉价,仅需要约 50 mL 培养物和低场光谱仪。
