Purification (Comment) | Organism |
---|---|
Ni-NTA column chromatography. After aerobic purification, the cysteine residues can oxidize and release the [2Fe-2S] cluster, causing ferrochelatase to precipitate. CHAPS is best at solubilizing ferrochelatase, while retaining full activity as compared to the enzyme in sodium cholate | Homo sapiens |
