Abstract excerpt
We report the expression and purification of alpha-synuclein, a protein implicated in Parkinson's disease, from isotopically (13C, 15N) labeled bacterial growth media, as required for solid-state NMR structural studies. Expression from Escherichia coli (BL21(DE3)) was performed with a protocol optimized for time efficiency and yield. Chemical lysis, crude purification by ammonium sulfate precipitation, and two...
