Abstract

Production of soluble protein remains a bottleneck in the biochemistry and structural biology fields. Unfortunately, there is no 'magic bullet' that solves all solubility problems. The following is a protocol to test whether a protein expressed recombinantly is soluble, and possible strategies to circumvent insolubility issues.
