Chemical Assistance in Refolding of Bacterial Inclusion Bodies by Mona Alibolandi, Hasan Mirzahoseini

“…Escherichia coli is one of the most widely used hosts for the production of recombinant proteins but insoluble expression of heterologous proteins is a major bottleneck in production of recombinant proteins in E. coli. In vitro refolding of inclusion body into proteins with native conformations is a solution for this problem but there is a need for optimization of condition for each protein specifically. …”
