METHOD CAPABLE OF BEING USED FOR PROTEIN RENATURATION INDEPENDENTLY OR BEING USED AS PRECEDING OPERATIONS OF PROTEIN RENATURATION

摘要

Provided is a method of treating a protein to be renatured, including: (1) mixing the protein to be renatured with a denaturing solution containing a denaturing reagent; (2) incubating a resulting mixture at such a low temperature that the denaturing agent is gradually precipitated from the denaturing solution, resulting in a decreasing concentration gradient of the denaturing agent and an increasing concentration of a renatured protein or its precursor in the denaturing solution with a decreasing volume; and (3) obtaining at least one of the renatured protein and its precursor.
