Solid-Phase Artificial Chaperone-Assisted Refolding using Insoluble ?-Cyclodextrin?Acrylamide Copolymer Beads

Abstract
Solid-phase refolding methods are advantageous since they facilitate both separation of solid additives from the refolded protein and recycling of the additives. β-Cyclodextrin–acrylamide copolymer hydrogel beads were used as a matrix for detergents in solid-phase artificial chaperone-assisted refolding and improved the yield of lysozyme (up to 65%) and carbonic anhydrase B (up to 80%), compared with conventional solid host matrices.
