I'm expressing a recombinant protein in Pichia pastoris system. After purification in IMAC column, the electrophoresis revels five bands in the gel. But, when I try to purify these proteins in a fast protein liquid chromatography, using a C18 column, all I obtain is a single fraction. The electrophoresis of this fraction reveals the five proteins observed before.
Does anyone have an idea of how can I undo this protein complex, in order to obtain my protein of interest?
PS: I've already tried urea solution 8 M and sonication.
