Protein Purification
    Scientists in SinoBio Biotech have taken part in 9 protein drugs process development. That is one third of biologics in China protein drug market. In the past three years SinoBio Biotech have established about 400 different proteins manufacture process scale from milligram to tens of gram. About 40 cytokines and tens of enzymes are qualified by well known reagent and cytokine sellers and contract all over the world. Five of them are get into preclinical trials and one of them filed IND.

    SinoBio Biotech provide a systemic protocol for protein purification to ensure your project be finished in a timely and reliable manner. The whole   include:

    . optimized expression screen
    . localization identification
    . inclusion body or crude protein extraction
    . affinity or other chromatography purification to improve the protein purities
    . remove of the affinity tag if needed
    . before or/and past digestion refolding
    . standard QC for each step and the final products
    . formulation

    A well documented flowchart direct scientist in SinoBio Biotech what should do in the next step.
    Expression screen include screen of different medium, addictives and culture condition/expression condition to improve the expression level/conserve the protein activities. e.g., different sodium and amino acid, or detergent sometimes will be added to boost your target protein expression. Different temperature, induction reagent concentration will also be optimized. Carbon and nitrogen source will be adjusted according to different strains. For mammalian cell culture, we can screen for optimized growth factors and medium composition improve the expression level.
    Target protein localization will be tested for e.coli expression to determine if they expressed in inclusion bodies or soluble expressed, expression conditions will be also optimized to improve the proteins in desired patron.
    Different methods can be used to disrupt the cells: Ultrasonic, ...
    SinoBio's purification scientist will chose some of the resins according to the properties of your target protein to purify the proteins. The resins include:
        IEX, such as DEAE, QAE, SP, CM,
        HIC, such as phenyl- octyl-£¦#8230;£¦#8230;
        SEC, such as
        Affinity according to the affinity tag or properties of your target proteins such as GST, NTA, BLUE, HEPERIN, AVIDIN, FLAG TAG£¦#8230;£¦#8230;


    Fusion tags can be removed according to your requirement. Different protease can be chose such as Enterokinase, Thrombin, Factor Xa, TEV protease, SUMO protease...
    SinoBio only provide soluble protein in conventional buffer to our customers. This means the products we provided will not contain any denature reagent such as urea.
    If the protein expressed in inclusion body, the protein will be refolded with a common method provided by Sinobio to ensure the solubility of your protein. In this case, we will not promise the biological activities. But lots of our customers still found the proteins are correctly refolded and active in there assay.
    If the customer requires the activities of the target protein, a systemic refolding process can be required, by which, a serials of refolding condition will be screened such as pH, oxidant, detergents, and other addictives. An optimized refolding condition can be acquired after a full refolding screen.
    SDS-PAGE purity will be tracked in all the process. Other quality analysis can be choose such as HPLC, MS, MS/MS, AA sequencing. For details please read PROTEIN ANALYSIS.
