Pyruvate Kinase Protein (PK) (full length) (rho-1D4 tag)

• Made in Germany - from design to production - by highly experienced protein experts.
• CHO Pyruvate kinase Protein (raised in Insect Cells) purified by multi-step, protein-specific process to ensure crystallization grade.
• State-of-the-art algorithm used for plasmid design (Gene synthesis).

This protein is a custom-made protein and will be made for the first time for your order. This protein will be produced on the basis of on a Custom Service Project. We will make sure that every step in the production is successful from the design of the expression plasmid to the expression and purification of the final protein. Our experts in the lab will ensure that you receive a correctly folded protein.

The concentration of our recombinant proteins is measured using the absorbance at 280nm. The protein's absorbance will be measured in several dilutions and is measured against its specific reference buffer. The concentration of the protein is calculated using its specific absorption coefficient. We use the Expasy's protparam tool to determine the absorption coefficient of each protein.

1. Membrane proteins are fractioned by ultracentrifugation and subsequently solubilized with different detergents (detergent screen). Samples are analyzed by Western blot.
2. The best performing detergent is used for solubilization and the proteins are purified via their rho1D4 tag via two rho1D4 antibody columns: one DTT resistant, the other one not. Eluate fractions are analyzed by Western blot.
3. Protein containing fractions of the best purification are subjected to second purification step through size exclusion chromatograph. Eluate fractions are analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.
