Thanks Rick. But Pierce has a LOT of cross-linkers. To which one were
you referring? Or does the special kit have a name??
I don't want to do the prep cell thing. We found some polymers of our
GST fusion protein at various MWs thru the whole gel - ID'ed by
MALDI-TOF. Its these sort of artefacts I want to particularly avoid.
