His-Tag Protein Purification
His-Tag Protein Purification
His-tags, which are short chains of histidine residues, have a small molecular weight without significantly altering the protein structure or function. His-tagged proteins can be purified using IMAC, which relies on the strong binding of histidine residues to immobilized metal ions (like nickel) on a resin. GenScript provides nickel resins, nickel magnetic beads, pre-packed columns, and other products for rapid purification of His-tagged proteins.

  • Case 1. L00666 - High Binding Capacity, Strong Affinity, and High Purity

    High Affinity Ni-Charged Resin FF (L00666) based on a 6% highly cross-linked agarose matrix, covalently coupled with the NTA chelating ligand, which binds Ni²⁺ through four coordination sites. This resin enables high-affinity purification of recombinant proteins carrying polyhistidine (His) tags. High Affinity Ni-Charged Resin FF offers low Ni²⁺ leakage, high protein binding capacity, and excellent chemical stability, making it well-suited for various protein purification protocols. These features make Ni-NTA resin an ideal choice for purifying 6xHis-tagged fusion proteins.

  • Case 2. L00885 - Strong Resistance to Chemical Reagents

    High Affinity Ni-TED Resin FF (L00885) is a next-generation immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) resin. It features TED ligands coupled to a 6% agarose gel matrix, forming five coordination bonds with Ni²⁺ ions. This resin is primarily designed for the capture and purification of histidine-tagged (His-tag) proteins secreted into the supernatant of eukaryotic expression systems. Compared to other chelating resins, High Affinity Ni-TED Resin offers superior compatibility with a wider range of components, allowing efficient target protein purification even in the presence of certain concentrations of EDTA and DTT.

    Ni-NTA and Ni-TED exhibits strong resistance to chemical reagents.

    The experimental results indicate that Ni-TED exhibits strong resistance to chemical reagents.
