## 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 ref

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 hydrostatic pressure technology has been developed which offers significant advantages over traditional methods of protein disaggregation and refolding. Pressure induced disruption of protein aggregates and subsequent refolding can take place at high concentrations in a single process step, without the need for high concentrations of chaotropic agents.

Misfolding and misassembly of proteins are major problems in the biotechnology industry, in biochemical research, and in human disease. Here we describe a novel approach for reversing aggregation and increasing refolding by application of hydrostatic pressure. Using P22 tailspike protein as a model
We have used a cellulose acetate, hollow-fibre (HF) ultrafiltration membrane to refold bovine carbonic anhydrase, loaded into the lumen space, by removing the denaturant through controlled dialysis via the shell side space. When challenged with GdnHCl-denatured carbonic anhydrase, 70% of the loaded
