Hello everyone, 

I have been trying to express and purify a protein. I am getting a good protein yield after Ni-NTA chromatography, as seen in SDS-PAGE. Problem is after purification, during dialysis it got precipitated( dialysis was done against deionized water). I diluted the precipitate many folds but it did not solublize. Again I tried to directly dilute the elutes after purification, but to my disappointment it again got precipitated. I further dissoved the precipitate in 4M urea but its not getting dissolved. I am not getting any clue, to what should I do. How to move ahead and desalt the protein and purify it further. Kindly help.

I am attaching the gel pic of protein after Ni-NTA colun . It doesnt contain protein marker. Also, along with the main purified protien other protein bands are also coming, albiet running a Ni-NTA column. Why so? any suggestions for this problem?
