*Solid urea to make up an 8M solution takes up a lot of volume so be conservative on how much H <sub>2</sub>O you start with (maybe 50% of final volume)

*Kathleen suggested supplementing the lysis buffer with 10mM imidazole to prevent nonspecific protein binding to the column.  Perhaps supplement the other buffers as well?

*Leprevost adjusted the Imidazol concentration in Washing and Elution buffers. A high Imidazol concentration is needed in order to elute the 6xHis-tagged protein.
*The urea should be freshly prepared and deionized prior to use.
