I am trying to extract membrane proteins of C. Glutamicum. I am finding out alternate methods because an ultra centrifuge is not available. I tried spinning at 18000 rpm and I got a small amount of membrane fraction. But its not enough for my assay.
What's your further experiment for these proteins? If you only need them to do activity assay, you can try to solubilize the supernatant with Triton/other detergent after 16000rpm. And then if enrichment is needed, you can concentrate the sample and run one cycle of gel filtration or ion exchange column.
Thanks for the reply Lin . I need it for just activity activity assay at the moment and also furthur analyse with GCMS. Il try that and would see how it goes
