Abstract
We established a 96βwellβplateβbased refolding screening system using zeolite. In this system, protein denatured and solubilized with 6 M guanidine hydrochloride is adsorbed onto zeolite placed in a 96βwell plate. The refolding conditions can be tested by incubating the samples with refolding buffers under various conditions of pH, salts, and additives. In this study, we chose green fluorescent protein as the model protein. Green fluorescent protein was expressed as inclusion bodies, and we tested the effects of four pH conditions and six additives on its refolding. The results demonstrate that green fluorescent protein was more efficiently refolded with zeolite than with the conventional dilution method.

## Abstract Production of recombinant proteins often leads to aggregate formation. These aggregates may make it impossible to solubilize the protein for downstream applications such as assay development or structural studies by Xβray crystallography or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. High
About 1000 catalytic or stoichiometric asymmetric reactions of racemic compounds or prochiral substrates bearing enantiotopic groups can be analyzed per day. In this highly efficient method the enantioselectivity is determined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using isotopically labeled s
