Abstract
A method for protein refolding with an ion exchange resin. The method includes (a) choosing an ion exchange resin that having charged groups with the same sign as a net charge of a denatured protein to be refolded; (b) removing heterogeneous ions from the ion exchange resin by washing the ion exchange resin sequentially with saline solution and deionized water, to prepare the ion exchange resin; (c) mixing the ion exchange resin with a refolding buffer thoroughly, then adding the denatured protein to the refolding buffer and allowing the denatured protein to refold; and then (d) collecting the supernatant by centrifugation or settlement, to obtain a solution containing the refolded protein.
