Support is requested for Protein Production. While small-scale preparations of recombinant proteins using standard affinity purifications will be performed in the individual laboratories of the project, all projects require mg-amounts of highly purified recombinant and untagged proteins. The Core will provide technical and scientific support in two ways. First, it will optimize expression of proteins that either do not express at all or only at very low levels, including change of vectors, bacterial strains, co-expression of chaperones, or switching to an eukaryotic expression system. Second, the core will express and purify medium to large scale amounts of proteins using an array of conventional and affinity-based chromatographic methods. The core is equipped with a bacterial fermenter for large-scale expression, two state-of-the-art automated FPLC-systems, and a miniaturaized FPLC (SMART). An array of physico-chemical techniques will be used for initial characterization with respect to folding, oligomerization/aggregation and purity including CD-spectroscopy, multi-angle laser light scattering, and mass spectrometry. It is directd jointly by Drs. Fasshauer and Jahn, who will be assisted by M. Boeddener, an experienced Research Associate with several years of experience in all of the required techniques.

需要支持蛋白质生产。虽然使用标准亲和纯化的重组蛋白的小规模制备将在项目的各个实验室中进行，但所有项目都需要mg量的高度纯化的重组和未标记的蛋白。核心将以两种方式提供技术和科学支助。首先，它将优化完全不表达或仅以非常低的水平表达的蛋白质的表达，包括载体、细菌菌株、伴侣蛋白的共表达或切换到真核表达系统。第二，核心将表达和纯化中等至大 使用一系列常规的和基于亲和性的色谱方法，核心配备了用于大规模表达的细菌发酵罐，两个最先进的自动化FPLC系统和一个自动化FPLC（SMART）。将使用一系列物理化学技术对折叠、低聚/聚集和纯度进行初步表征，包括CD光谱、多角度激光散射和质谱。它由法斯豪尔博士和雅恩博士共同指导，M. Boeddener是一位经验丰富的研究助理， 在所有必要的技术经验。
