A new method to improve refolding yields and to increase the concentration of refolded proteins in a single operation has been developed. The method uses size-exclusion chromatography matrices to perform buffer exchange, aggregate removal, and the folding reaction. The reduced diffusion of proteins in gel-filtration media has been shown to suppress the nonspecific interactions of partially folded molecules, thus reducing aggregation. Hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) and bovine carbonic anhydrase (CAB) were successfully refolded from initial protein concentrations of up to 80 mg/mL using Sephacryl S-100 (HR). The aggregation reaction for lysozyme was reduced and was only detected at the highest protein concentration used. The average recovery of lysozyme was 63%, with an average specific activity of 104%. Carbonic anhydrase experiments also showed that aggregation was suppressed and the average protein recovery from the column was 56%, with a specific activity of 81%. This process enables refolding and the purification of active species to be achieved in a single step. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
