The Pierce™ Protein Refolding Kit enables systematic screening and optimization of protein refolding conditions for recombinant proteins expressed as inclusion bodies. The kit utilizes a matrix-based design to evaluate key buffer components—denaturants, redox agents, and additives—across multiple concentration levels, helping to identify conditions that suppress aggregation and restore native protein conformation and function.
This kit includes high-purity reagents, flexible matrix components, and a detailed refolding guide for tailoring experiments to a wide variety of target proteins. It is ideal for labs working with proteins expressed in E. coli or other systems where inclusion body formation is common.
Key Features and Benefits
- Matrix Strategy Design – Nine buffer combinations allow screening across redox and denaturant conditions
- Customizable Conditions – Adjustable parameters for specific protein folding requirements
- High-Purity Reagents – Ensures reproducibility and minimizes contamination
- Efficient Refolding – Reduces trial-and-error and optimizes protein yield and activity
- Comprehensive Protocol – Includes guidance for inclusion body isolation, solubilization, and activity measurement
Applications
- Refolding of proteins from inclusion bodies
- Optimization of protein folding for biochemical/structural studies
- Evaluation of redox environments for disulfide bond reformation
- Refolding assay development for enzymes and antibody fragments
- Pilot screening for large-scale protein production
