Dear Kiran,

Thanks for your message.  Since I'm doing a small scale prep for SDS-PAGE I
can easily change my protocol to incorporate the 90% ethanol ppt. step.  I
should probably know this but what exactly happens when proteins are kept
at -80 degrees (in contrast to -20 degrees)?

Thanks again.

scaleup or just in an analytical scale. The problem you are facing can be
solved by both the ammonium sulfate precipitation or with the help of 100%
ethanol.  If your objective is only to run an SDS-PAGE Gel then concentrate
your samples using 90% ethanol.  Never even you keep your proteins at -80
degrees.Rather -20 or even 4 degress with EDTA is compatible.
