BugBuster® Protein Extraction Reagent is formulated to gently disrupt the cell wall of E. coli and liberate soluble proteins. It provides a simple, rapid, low-cost alternative to mechanical methods such as French press or sonication for releasing expressed target protein in preparation for purification or other applications. The reagent is available in a variety of configurations.
Common Features: - Simple, rapid, low-cost alternative to mechanical methods (i.e., French Press and sonication)
- Capable of cell wall perforation without denaturing soluble protein
- Fully compatible with the affinity supports such as Novagen's GST•Bind™, His•Bind®, and S•Tag™ Resins, and other chromatography matrices
- Compatible with Benzonase® Nuclease for viscosity reduction
- Extraction enhanced by addition of small amount of lysozyme
- Compatible with Protease Inhibitor Cocktails
- Useful for the preparation of high purity inclusion bodies in instances where expressed proteins are insoluble
- Reagent is available in a variety of configurations
