Hi guys, I have recently optimized my protein expression from BL21 cells and I have a query on the types of storage methods that can be used. I have seen the use of 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol but am not particularly sure if there is a general rule on the types of components that have to be added. My protein is currently in Tris-Hcl buffer (pH8.5). Desalting has been performed to remove imidazole and NaCl. I will need this protein for downstream assays so its activity is important. Please advise on the composition of storage conditions and buffers that you guys have tried. Also, is salt (such as NaCl) required in the storage of proteins? Thanks!
