Hello. I was wondering if anyone has used a glutathione analog in which the sulfhydral group
is blocked to elude bound GST-fusion proteins from a GSH-Sepharose Chromatography Column
(Pharmacia). Reduced glutathione (GSH) is currently used, but it binds to our peptides
via two disulfide bonds to two cysteines in our target peptide. DTT removes the GSH, but it
produces the target peptide with reduced cysteine residues. We suspect that the cysteines
form a native disulfide bond in the absence of GSH and DTT. Any suggestions? Thanks for your
time.
