Evaluation of the pH- and thermal stability of the recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the presence of sodium chloride.

The thermal stability of recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFP) in sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions at different concentrations, pH, and temperatures was evaluated by assaying the loss of fluorescence intensity as a measure of denaturation. GFP, extracted from Escherichia coli cells by the three-phase partitioning method and purified through a butyl hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) column, was diluted in water for injection (WFI) (pH 6.0-7.

Stability of recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFPuv) in glucose solutions at different concentrations and pH values.

The stability at room temperature (25 degrees C) of recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFPuv), expressed by Escherichia coli cells and isolated by three-phase partitioning extraction with hydrophobic interaction column, was studied. The GFPuv was diluted in buffered (each 10 mM: Tris-HCl, pH 8.0; phosphate, pH 6.
