Bioinformatics  Cloning  EXPRESSION  Purification  Crystallisation  Structure 

Expression trials are attempted first in small-scale (1ml) cultures, with different cell lines (BL21/C43), culture temperatures, induction method (IPTG v autoinduction), and medias (TB, GS9). Small scale cultures are then lysed using “bug buster”, and the presence of soluble protein is checked by a Ni/His-tag purification by the Qiagen robot, followed by a SDS gel.


Successful expresion trials are then scaled-up to 1 litre flasks.
