<strong>Protein</strong> <strong>Expression</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Purification</strong> <strong>Series</strong><br />
4. Prepare Lysis buffer 2/Wash buffer: To prepare 50 ml of Lysis buffer 2/Wash buffer, combine<br />
38 ml of distilled water, 10 ml of 10x PBS <strong>and</strong> 2 ml of Imidazole stock solution <strong>and</strong> mix thoroughly.<br />
Lysis buffer 2/Wash buffer should be stored at 4°C <strong>and</strong> is good for one month. The Lysis buffer 2/<br />
Wash buffer is 20 mM sodium phosphate, 300 mM NaCl <strong>and</strong> 10 mM imidazole.<br />
Aliquot 500 µl of Lysis buffer 2/Wash buffer into a 2 ml microcentrifuge tube for each workstation.<br />
5. Prepare a dry ice/ethanol bath: Right before the lab period, add ethanol to a beaker. Add dry ice to<br />
the beaker until it no longer melts completely <strong>and</strong> pieces can still be seen in the solution.<br />
6. Set up student workstations according to the student workstation list shown below.<br />
Separating soluble from insoluble induced cell fractions <strong>and</strong> prepare SDS-PAGE samples<br />
1. Thaw lysates: If the cell lysates have been stored in a –20°C freezer, take them out at least one hour<br />
before the laboratory period <strong>and</strong> allow the lysates to thaw at room temperature. If the lysates do not<br />
thaw within one hour, they can be briefly warmed to 37°C to thaw completely.<br />
2. Set up student workstations according to the student workstation list shown below.<br />
Student Workstations<br />
Each student team requires the following items to 1) collect their cell pellet, 2) lyse their cells, 3) separate<br />
the soluble from the insoluble lysate fraction, <strong>and</strong> 4) prepare samples for SDS-PAGE analysis:<br />
1. Collecting cell pellet <strong>and</strong> lysing cells<br />
