I have a calcium binding protein. To make it calcium free i did dialysis with EDTA containing buffer. But how to make sure whether a protein is calcium free ?
Hi Sujeesh, you will have to put your faith in mass transfer and osmosis.
If you are dialyzing your protein against ~10e7 fold molar excess of EDTA, you will end up with a Ca++ free protein, unless the water you use has high Ca++/Mg++and your protein has super high affinity for Ca++
