Purification protocol:as few steps as possible crude • IMAC I usually provides a major • step of the purification • IMAC II removes His-TEV and • persistent contaminant proteins • in E.coli host • Gel-filtration – “polishing” • before crystal optimization IMAC I tag cleavage IMAC II gel filtration Milligram-scale protein production crystallization (screen) 24 20 Crystallization (optimization) Proteinnumber 8 Se-Met protein 2 2 2-5 5-10 10-20 20-40 >50 mg pure protein per 1 L culture Dementieva et al. 2002

MCSG Protein Purification Database “Notebook” • Protein Purification Database “Notebook” is fully searchable throughout results of purification. • User is able to use APC number Host identifier or Vector description as keys for his search. • The MCSG Report Field is connected directly to MCSG Report Website (http://www.mcsg.anl.gov/target) and is updating corresponding filed for purification progress report. • SDS Gel Button is connected through the File Report mechanism to Agilent 2100 Bio Sizing Software for separation results. • Chromatography Button invokes connection to File Report mechanism to Pharmacia Purification Robot Software.
