A Robust and Rapid Method of Producing Soluble, Stable, and Functional G-Protein Coupled Receptors

A Robust and Rapid Method of Producing Soluble, Stable, and Functional G-Protein Coupled Receptors

Membrane proteins, particularly G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), are notoriously difficult to express. Using commercial E.coli cell-free systems with the detergent Brij-35, we could rapidly produce milligram quantities of 13 unique GPCRs. Immunoaffinity purification yielded receptors at >90%...
