On-column refolding

1
Preparing the buffers
Use high purity water and chemicals.
Filter all buffers through a 0.45 µm filter before use.
Binding buffer (port A1):
6 M guanidine hydrochloride, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 M NaCl,
5 mM imidazole, 1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, pH 8.0
Solubilisation buffer (port A2):
6 M urea, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 M NaCl, 5 mM imidazole,
1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, pH 8.0
Elution buffer (port A3):
20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 M NaCl, 0.5 M imidazole,
1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, pH 8.0
Refolding buffer (port B):
20 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 M NaCl, 5 mM imidazole,
1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, pH 8.0
Prepare at least 500 ml of each eluent.
* Alternative binding buffers:
5–40 mM imidazole can be included in the binding buffer to
reduce unspecific binding of non-histidine-tagged proteins.
The concentration of imidazole is protein dependent and if the
protein of interest elutes or does not bind at a certain imidazole
concentration, then reduce the concentration.
** Include the same imidazole concentration as in used binding
buffer.

Preparing the sample
a) Adjust the sample to composition of binding buffer by:
diluting the sample in binding buffer or
by buffer exchange using HiTrap Desalting or HiPrep
26/10 Desalting.
b) Pass the sample through a 0.45 µm filter.
3
Preparing the system
a) Place each inlet tubing from port A (8-port valve) in
eluents as given above and the tubing from port B
(2-port valve) in the elution buffer.
b) Place the three brown waste tubings in waste.
c) Connect the column between port 1 on the injection
valve (7-port valve) and the UV flow cell (see Ordering
information on next page for suitable columns).
d) Fill the fraction collector rack with 18 mm tubes
(minimum 40) and position the white plate on the
fractionation arm against the first tube.
e) Connect a sample loop large enough for your sample
between port 2 and 6 on the injection valve. Use a
syringe to manually fill the loop.
