High-throughput parallel protein purification with the Protein Maker
Parallel Protein Chromatography
• Carries out up to 24 purifications / run
• One step purification or two step purification (up to 12 samples)
• Uses standard 1-5 mL chromatography columns in parallel
• Unattended operation, up to 4 runs / day
• Small (1mL) to large (1L) load volumes

Throughput:
Multiple targets & variants are
provided in batches
Approach: Parallel
chromatographic IMAC purification
of 24 target protein
9
Target variation:
Purification of internal deletion
variants; His-tagged
Analysis:
• SDS-PAGE
• Crystallization
Lysates Eluates Crystals
Protein Maker:Automated Parallel Protein Purification
PEGS 2012
Protein Maker: Parallel lysis scouting
Problem: Standard lysis buffer may not render all protein targets soluble.Solution: Test 12 different cell-lysis buffers followed by small scale (1 mL) IMAC purification
10
Sample: Cytochrome P450 insoluble in standard lysis bufferResult: of 12 lysis buffers 2 yield soluble CYP51A (CHAPS/bOG + 500 mM NaCl)
Lyse E.colicells in 12 different buffers
Ni-IMAC standard elution
