I understand your plight. The best you can do is try - there is no telling
if STREP tag will work in your case, unless you dialyze into better buffer.
have you considered fusing your protein to a thermophilic MBP, and trying to
renature the fusion while keeping MBP alive ? PfuMBP does not really
denature in 5.5 M guanidinium hydrochloride at normal temperature, your
protein probably does...
