RESUMO
High hydrostatic pressures (1–2 kbar), combined with low, nondenaturing concentrations of guanidine hydrochloride (GdmHCl) foster disaggregation and refolding of denatured and aggregated human growth hormone and lysozyme, and β-lactamase inclusion bodies. One hundred percent recovery of properly folded protein can be obtained by applying pressures of 2 kbar to suspensions containing aggregates of recombinant human growth hormone (up to 8.7 mg/ml) and 0.75 M GdmHCl. Covalently crosslinked, insoluble aggregates of lysozyme could be refolded to native, functional protein at a 70% yield, independent of protein concentration up to 2 mg/ml. Inclusion bodies containing β-lactamase could be refolded at high yields of active protein, even without added GdmHCl.
