Refolding Proteins
From OpenWetWare
Introduction
Many recombinant or fusion proteins may be unfavorable to host bacteria, especially at the concentrations demanded by researchers. As a result, these proteins may be misfolded and segregated into inclusion bodies. It may be necessary to purify denatured protein from these inclusion bodies and then refold them manually.
