Popis: Recombinant carp growth hormone and its Cys123Ala analogue were refolded in 4.5 M urea, pH 11.3 in the presence of 0.1 mM cysteine. Shortening of the refolding process from 48 h to 1 h resulted in a 30 to 40 fold increase in yield of the biologically active monomers, and lowered dimerization and oligomerization. A similar short-time refolding procedure was also found to be advantageous with other structurally different, non-related proteins, such as the extracellular domains of rabbit and bovine prolactin receptors.
