Abstract:
As a member of the S100 protein family, S100A10 has already been purified. However, its purity, or even yield, have often not been reported in the literature. To facilitate future biophysical experiments with S100A10, we aimed to obtain it at a purity of at least 95% in a reasonably large amount. Here, we report optimized conditions for the transformation, overexpression and purification of the protein. We obtained a purity of 97% and performed stability studies by circular dichroism. Our data confirmed that the S100A10 obtained is suitable for experiments to be performed at room temperature up to several days.

Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...
