Overview
After you have verified your construct, you need to make sure your plasmid yields the right protein. You are going to do a small scale crude protein extraction and compare the uninduced cells VS induced soluble part of cells VS induced insoluble part of cells. Ideally, a lot of the right protein is in the induced soluble part.
Materials
- Culture* (see procedure for specifics)
- LB w/ appropriate antibiotic
- IPTG 0.1M or 1M (or your appropriate inducer)
- B-PER protein extraction solution
Growing up culture
- From overnight culture
- Back dilute. Take 40uL saturated culture and add to 2mL LB/antibiotic. Incubate in shaker for 2-3 hours.
- Add IPTG. Add enough so your final concentration is 1mM. Incubate in shaker for 3-4 hours.
- From a plate
- First thing at work, pick a colony and put into LB/antibiotic. Incubate in shaker for 6-8 hours.
- Add IPTG. Add enough so your final concentration is 0.25mM. Incubate overnight.
- Pellet your cells. Suggested 5 min at 16G.
- You may save your pellet at 4 C for use tomorrow or -20C if you're going to wait longer. Freezing will cause crystallization but it doesn't matter because this is just a crude analytical purification.
