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

04 April 2018 0 1K Report

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.

Does anyone know what might be causing the smeared bands on my western blot?

I got these smeared bands quite often lately. We typically run the gel at 140V with a 10-12% gel and do a wet transfer at 220 mA for 1.5 hr in cold room. We also noticed some dirty spots/dots (see...
