2.4.1.170 | DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow column, Q-Sepharose HP column, Phenyl-Sepharose HP column (pH 8.5), hydroxyapatite column, gel filtration (HiLoad 26/60 Superdex 200pg column), resource Q column and chromatofocusing on Mono P (Mono P column), all at 4°C. The activity in the crude extract is extremely unstable to oxidation and the addition of 2-mercaptoethanol is essential for its efficient purification. The addition of CHAPS to purification buffers is also essential for purification after step 6 (hydroxyapatite chromatography), otherwise the activity is irreversibly lost. |
