This study introduces an efficient solid-phase protein refolding technique using artificial chaperones and expanded-bed chromatography. The novel method significantly improves refolding yields for industrial applications.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Protein Chemistry
  • Bioprocess Engineering

Background:

  • Protein misfolding is a significant challenge in biotechnology, impacting therapeutic protein production and function.
  • Current protein refolding methods often suffer from low yields, high costs, and complex purification steps.
  • Artificial chaperone systems offer a promising alternative for enhancing protein refolding efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an efficient solid-phase protein refolding method.
  • To utilize artificial chaperones and the expanded-bed technique for improved protein refolding.
  • To facilitate large-scale protein refolding for industrial applications.

Main Methods:
