Introductions: The kitprovidesan optimizedreagentand buffer system for efficientextraction of biologically active and soluble total protein from yeast cells. The kit contains EDTA、CaCl2, DTT, protease inhibitors, as well as a proprietaryreagent to break cell wall. Native and/or recombinant proteins extracted are preserved with biological activity integrities and are suitable for many downstream applicationsincludingSDS-PAGE,Westernblot,enzymeanalysis,2Dgelelectrophoresis.Thekitis sufficientfor50x50mgwetyeastcells.
Compositions:
Isoosmotic Buffer
75ml
SnailaseBuffer
250ul
Hypoosmotic Buffer
25ml
PMSF Solution
250ul
Storage: Transportationatroomtemperature.Uponreceipt,storeIsoosmoticBuffer,HypoosmoticBuffer at4oC. Store the Snailase buffer and PMSF Buffer at-20oC.
Procedures: 1.Cultivate the yeast strain in suitable medium at 28oC to 30oC until OD600 of yeast cells ensity reaches ~1.0orso. 2.Centrifuge at 8000rpm for one minute. Discard supernatant and keep yeast paste. Record the weightofwetpaste. 3.Add500ulIsoosmoticbuffer,5ulSnailasebufferand1ulmercaptoethanol(notprovidedinthekit)per50mgwetyeastpaste.
