I am deciding whether or not to fractionate my cell lysate to perform a kinase assay for mass spec analysis of direct targets (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3131159/). The above paper uses ion exchange chromatography for fractionation and ammonium sulfate precipitation. Is this good protocol to follow to reduce sample complexity, or is subcellular fractionation (i.e. nuclear, cytoplasmic, membrane fractions) better?
