Have I to consider the oligomeric status of my protein before calculating its molarity?

12 December 2018 0 3K Report

Hi, I deal with synthetases which are dimeric. SHould I consider their dimeric mol wt before calculating their molarity or should I go with the usual SDS PAGE mol wt which is monomeric in Kilodaltons

Hello, my protein is undergoing aggregation and eluting in void volume during gel filtration. How can I reduce this ?

After affinity through amylose and TEV cleavage, the protein is aggregated in GPC so I am not getting any active protein out of this. How can I minimise aggregation.
