I want to extract membrane+cytosolic proteins for western blots.
I'm working with hardy bacteria, so I have to bead beat for full lysis.
During bead beating, the manufacturer protocol recommends I use detergent-free lysis buffer because the foaming prevents efficient lysis by the beads.
My question: Should I add detergent -- after lysis -- to separate the insoluble/membrane proteins from the cell debris?
Or, can I simply take ~100 uL of lysate (free of detergent), add some SDS loading buffer, boil+centrifuge that, and get good membrane proteins on my western blot?
