Universal protein renaturation method and application thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides a universal protein renaturation method and an application thereof, and relates to the technical field of protein renaturation. The method includes the following steps: (1) add 2mercaptoethanol to urea solution to obtain denaturing solution; (2) dissolve a sample including to-be-renatured protein by using the denaturing solution and then freeze the sample, to obtain a frozen body; (3) thaw the frozen body at room temperature, and extract the thawed liquid as soon as the liquid is thawed; (4) dilute the extracted liquid with water, to terminate renaturation and obtain supernatant and precipitate through centrifugation, where the supernatant includes the protein that has been successfully renatured. According to the present invention, protein renaturation recovery efficiency can be improved, and a production batch is stable and reproducible. Operations in the present invention are simple, almost no waste liquid is produced, and no protein is lost. According to the present invention, nine allergen proteins are renatured, to significantly improve the protein renaturation yield. In addition, compared with that in the conventional technology, the protein activity according to the present invention is increased by about 3 times or more.
