摘要
The renaturation and purification of recombinant human proinsulin (rh-proinsulin) expressed in E. coli with the unit of simultaneous renaturation and purification of protein (USRPP) in semi-preparative scale was studied. The result shows that rh-proinsulin extracted with 8.0 mol/L urea can be renatured and purified simultaneously in 45 minutes with the USRPP (1050 mm ID). The purity of rh-proinsulin was found to be more than 90% and the mass recovery to be more than 80%. The renaturation effect of rh-proinsulin with the USRPP was tested by enzyme cleavage for obtaining insulin. In addition, the result was further confirmed with RPLC, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and MALDI-TOF, respectively.
