Abstract
Development of high efficiency and low cost protein refolding methods is a highlighted research focus in biotechnology. Artificial molecular chaperone (AMC) and protein folding liquid chromatography (PFLC) are two attractive refolding methods developed in recent years. In the present work, AMC and one branch of PFLC, ion exchange chromatography (IEC), are integrated to form a new refolding method, artificial molecular chaperone-ion exchange chromatography (AMC-IEC). This new method is applied to the refolding of a widely used model protein, urea-denatured/dithiothreitol-reduced lysozyme. Many factors influencing the refolding of lysozyme, such as urea concentration, beta-cyclodextrin concentration, molar ratio of detergent to protein, mobile phase flow rate, and type of detergent, were investigated, respectively, to optimize the conditions for lysozyme refolding by AMC-IEC. Compared with normal IEC refolding method, the activity recoveries of lysozyme obtained by AMC-IEC were much higher in the investigated range of initial protein concentrations. Moreover, the activity recoveries obtained by using this newly developed refolding method were still quite high for denatured/reduced lysozyme at high initial concentrations. When the initial protein concentration was 200 mg mL(-1), the activity recovery was over 60%. In addition, the lifetime of the chromatographic column during AMC-IEC was much longer than that during protein refolding by normal IEC. Therefore, AMC-IEC is a high efficient and low cost protein refolding method.

Abstract
High-level expression of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli frequently leads to the formation of insoluble protein aggregates, termed inclusion bodies. In order to recover a native protein from inclusion bodies, various protein refolding techniques have been developed. Column-based refolding methods and refolding in aqueous two-phase systems are often an attractive alternative to dilution refolding due to simultaneous purification and improved refolding yields. In this work, the effect of surface histidine mutations and their number on the partitioning and refolding of recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor Cys17Ser variant (rhG-CSF (C17S)) from solubilized inclusion bodies in aqueous two-phase systems polyethylene glycol (PEG)-dextran, containing metal ions, chelated by dye Light Resistant Yellow 2KT (LR Yellow 2KT)-PEG derivative, was investigated. Human G-CSF is a growth factor that regulates the production of mature neutrophilic granulocytes from the precursor cells. Initially, the role of His156 and His170 residues in the interaction of rhG-CSF (C17S) with Cu(II), Ni(II) and Hg(II) ions, chelated by LR Yellow 2KT-PEG, was investigated at pH 7.0 by means of affinity partitioning of purified, correctly folded rhG-CSF (C17S) mutants. It was determined that both His156 and His170 mutations reduced the affinity of rhG-CSF (C17S) for chelated Cu(II) ions at pH 7.0. His170 mutation significantly reduced the affinity of protein for chelated Ni(II) ions. However, histidine mutations had only a small effect on the affinity of protein for Hg(II) ions. The influence of His156 and His170 mutations on the refolding of rhG-CSF (C17S) from solubilized inclusion bodies in aqueous two-phase systems PEG-dextran, containing chelated Ni(II) and Hg(II) ions, was investigated. Reversible interaction of protein mutants with chelated metal ions was used for refolding in aqueous two-phase systems. Both histidine mutations resulted in a significant decrease of protein refolding efficiency in two-phase systems containing chelated Ni(II) ions, while in the presence of chelated Hg(II) ions their effect on protein refolding was negligible. Refolding studies of rhG-CSF variants with different number of histidine mutations revealed that a direct correlation exists between the number of surface histidine residues and refolding efficiency of rhG-CSF variant in two-phase systems containing chelated Ni(II) ions. This method of protein refolding in aqueous two-phase systems containing chelated metal ions should be applicable to other recombinant proteins that contain accessible histidine residues.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of proteomics is to identify biologically active proteins and to produce them using biotechnology tools such as bacterial hosts. However, proteins produced by Escherichia coli must be refolded to their native state. Protein folding liquid chromatography (PFLC) is a new method developed in recent years, and it is widely used in molecular biology and biotechnology. In this paper, the new method, PFLC is introduced and its recent development is reviewed. In addition the paper includes definitions, advantages, principles, applications for both laboratory and large scales, apparatus, and effecting factors of PFLC. In addition, the role of this method in the future is examined.

Optimizing refolding and recovery of active recombinant Bacillus halodurans xylanase in polymer–salt aqueous two-phase system using surface response analysis. J Chromatogr A 2007; 1141:32-40.

Abstract
An experimental design was used to determine optimal conditions for refolding of a recombinant thermostable and alkaline active xylanase from Bacillus halodurans in PEG-phosphate two-phase system. The influence of different experimental variables on the enzyme recovery has been evaluated. To build the mathematical model and minimize the number of experiments for the design parameters, response surface methodology with a face-centered central composite design (CCF) was defined based on the conditions found by preliminary tests that resulted in the highest refolding yield. The adequacy of the calculated model for the response was confirmed by means of variance analysis and additional experiments. Analysis of contours of constant response as a function of pH, polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular weight and concentration, and salt concentration for different enzyme loads revealed different effects of these five factors on the studied parameters. Recovery of more than 92% active xylanase was predicted for a system with 18.3% (w/w) PEG 1000, 14.4% (w/w) phosphate at pH 8.5, and enzyme load corresponding to a protein concentration of about 0.05 mg/g system. The yield of the refolded enzyme was found to be optimal at 22 degrees C. The validity of the response model was verified by a good agreement between predicted and experimental results.

Abstract
The correct folding of solubilized recombinant proteins is of key importance for their production in industry. On-column refolding of proteins is mainly achieved by three methods: size-exclusion chromatography, ion exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography using immobilized metal chelates. The principles of these methods were first laid down in the 1990s, but many recent improvements have been made to these processes including sophisticated changes to the mobile phase composition and the recycling of aggregates to improve yield. Advances have also been made in the use of immobilized metal affinity chromatography and by mimicking the natural folding process with artificial chaperones.

Abstract
The chelation capability of the reactive dye Light Resistant Yellow 2KT towards metal ions, particularly mercury(II) was evaluated in the pH range 5.0-7.0, and it was shown that the dye-Hg(II) complex has a free site for the interaction with human recombinant granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) from Escherichia coli. Affinity partitioning of three rhG-CSF forms--native, rhG-CSF[Cys17--->Ser17] and (His)6-rhG-CSF was studied in aqueous two-phase systems, which contained metal ions--Cu(II), Ni(II) and Hg(II)--chelated by dye-poly(ethylene glycol) at pH 5.0 and 7.0, in the presence or absence of many selected agents. It was determined, that chelated Ni(II) ions exhibited stronger interaction with the hexahistidine-tagged protein form, while the extraction power of Cu(II) ions was found to be of comparable order of magnitude for all three protein forms at pH 7.0. A comparative study of rhG-CSF and both its forms partitioning in the presence of chelated Hg(II) ions at pH 7.0 and 5.0 revealed possible direct interaction between Hg(II) ions and unpaired Cys-17 of rhG-CSF. The partitioning of three rhG-CSF forms inclusion body extract was studied in the presence of chelated Ni(II) and Hg(II) ions thus explaining the efficiency of targeted proteins renaturation gained upon their inclusion body forms interactions with chelated metal ions.

Abstract
The application of temperature-sensitive polymer (PNIPAAm) for the renaturation of beta-lactamase from inclusion bodies was investigated. It was observed that PNIPAAm was more effective than PEG in enhancing protein renaturation. At a concentration of 0.1%, PNIPAAm improved the yield of beta-lactamase activity by 41% from 46. 5 to 65.4 IU/mL, compared to 26% with PEG from 46.5 to 58.7 IU/mL. Kinetic study indicated that PNIPAAm did not significantly affect the initial rate of protein renaturation but did increase final activity yield. In the presence of PEG and PNIPAAm, the activity yields increased with temperature, indicating that hydrophobic interactions between denatured protein and polymer molecules contributed to the enhanced protein renaturation with polymers. The sequential addition approach, aiming at enhancing protein renaturation by reducing local protein concentration during renaturation, was also shown effective in enhancing protein renaturation, especially in the presence of polymers. With the sequential addition approach, the activity yield was increased by 60. 5% from 46.5 to 74.6 IU/mL with PNIPAAm. Similar behavior was also observed with PEG. PNIPAAm exhibited similar behavior as PEG on the renaturation of beta-lactamase in terms of temperature effect and concentration effect, indicating that the mechanism for enhanced protein renaturation for the two polymers might be similar. PNIPAAm exhibits a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 32 degrees C and can be effectively separated from aqueous solution and recycled. A protein renaturation process employing PNIPAAm, which offers the advantages of enhanced renaturation efficiency, minimum loss of protein aggregates, and ease of polymers recycling, was proposed.

Abstract
Overexpression of cloned or synthetic genes in Escherichia coli often results in the formation of insoluble protein inclusion bodies. Within the last decade, specific methods and strategies have been developed for preparing active recombinant proteins from these inclusion bodies. Usually, the inclusion bodies can be separated easily from other cell components by centrifugation, solubilized by denaturants such as guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn-HCl) or urea, and then renatured through a refolding process such as dilution or dialysis. Recent improvements in renaturation procedures have included the inhibition of aggregation during refolding by application of low molecular weight additives and matrix-bound renaturation. These methods have made it possible to obtain high yields of biologically active proteins by taking into account process parameters such as protein concentration, redox conditions, temperature, pH, and ionic strength.

Abstract
Aqueous two-phase systems have been widely used for the separation and concentration of proteins. In this work we investigated the possibility of using aqueous two-phase system for the renaturation of inclusion body proteins by studying the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-salt systems on the oxidative renaturation of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) with guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) present in the system. To accomplish phase separation at moderately low concentrations of polymer and salt, the total GdmCl concentration had to be kept low (<1 M). The unfolded protein exhibited very low solubility under these conditions. In an attempt to increase the solubility of the protein, temperatures of 40, 50, and 60 degrees C were investigated. The effect of PEG molecular weight was also addressed. Best renaturation yields were obtained when using PEG 3400 and working at 50 degrees C. However, the total protein concentration had to be kept at a low level of 0.2 mg/mL. Lowering the total GdmCl concentration in the system resulted in increased aggregation.
