If you want refernces on using Sarkosyl, lowering growth temperatures and
IPTG concentrations, stressing the cells osmotically during growth (the
betaine-sorbitol method) or some refolding strategies, let me know. My
main advice is how about changing expression system? I changed expression
system (from hexahisitidine fusion to GST fusion) and my domain boundaries
(putative only) and had a dramatic improvement in solubility.
