Abstract

The enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was over-expressed in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies to increase its quantity and to facilitate its purification. Insoluble EGFP has been purified on Q Hyper Z matrix by expanded bed adsorption after solubilization in 8 M urea. The adsorption was made in expanded bed mode to avoid centrifugation. EBA-column refolding was done by elimination of urea and elution with NaCl. The EGFP was obtained as a highly purified soluble form with similar behavior in fluorescence and electrophoresis as native EGFP.
