Efficient purification of native recombinant proteins using proteases immobilized on cellulose

J Biosci Bioeng. 2012 Apr;113(4):542-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2011.12.003. Epub 2012 Jan 23.

Abstract

Cellulose binding domain (CBD) fusion protease was employed to digest the CBD fusion protein. After cleavage, the tag free target proteins can be separated from the CBD tag and CBD fusion protease which still adsorbed to the cellulose by centrifugation. The green fluorescent protein was efficiently purified using this method.
