insoluble fusion protein - (Mar/21/2011 )

HI everybody. i just want to ask for some tips and advise on how i can make my fusion protein more soluble. I used Thioredoxin fusion tag and transformed it to bl21 and did induction of 0.5mM IPTG for 5 hours at 26 degrees. i am aware that lowering the temperature may increase protein solubility. are there any tips you can further suggest? thank you?

Hola, Origami rosettagami strains could improve the folding, lac+ strains could give you a constituive expression and low temperature grow could help you, but sometimes it doesn´t run. Buena suerte
