Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Biochemical Activity Assay
Description:  Protein was expressed and purified from E. coli BL21 DE3 Rosetta 2 (EMD Millipore) cells using standard techniques. Cells were grown in 2x yeast extract tryptone medium and expression was initiated via the addition of isopropyl -D-1-thiogalactopyranoside. Expression proceeded overnight at 18 ° C. Cells were harvested by centrifugation and subsequently lysed via sonication. Insoluble fraction was removed by centrifugation. Maltose binding protein (MBP) fusion proteins were purified on a dextrin sepharose column (GE Healthcare) and the MBP tag was removed using tobacco etch virus protease overnight during dialysis. Protein was further purified on a heparin column (GE Healthcare) and eluted using a NaCl gradient. Column fraction were pooled and further purified on a Superdex 75 gel filtration column (GE Healthcare). Protein was quantified using 280 nm absorbance. Protein was then flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at 80 ° C. until use.
