- Expression of soluble protein is poor.
Optimize the expression level of the soluble target protein by adjusting temperature of fermentation, induction time and concentration of inducer. - Protein forms inclusion body.
If the protein forms inclusion bodies, it is unable to bind to the Ni-NTA magnetic beads. Optimize the expression process to minimize protein aggregation. Or purify aggregated protein under denaturing condition. - 6x His-tag does not bind to the magnetic beads.
If the structure of 6x His-tag is partially hidden, it is unable to bind to the Ni-NTA magnetic beads. Move the tag to the opposite end of protein. Or purify the protein under denaturing conditions. If the binding conditions are incorrect, optimize both pH value and imidazole concentration of the binding buffer. The binding buffer provided in the kit contains 10 mM of Imidazole, and its pH is 8.0. For a more detailed information, refer to the manual. - Target protein does not elute in elution process.
Elution buffer conditions are too mild to elute protein. Increase imidazole concentration or decrease pH value. The elution buffer provided in the kit contains 500 mM of Imidazole, and its pH is 8.0. For a more detailed information, refer to the manual.
