(a) Location of prolines in AID153. Pro72 was chosen as a site for point mutation to investigate the effects of proline in protein refolding. (b) 36–44 h protein-refolding procedure: the percentage of refolded protein concentration recovered relative to the 9 M urea-solubilized unfolded protein concentration. Subsequent runs of refolding and purifying AID153 from the Ni–NTA flowthrough results in decreased recovery. Upon complete denaturation via boiling, mAID153, which contains a point mutation at Pro72, led to the recovery of ∼91% more refolded protein compared with AID153. |
