Summary
The production of recombinant proteins usually involves the exploration of a wide variety of expression and purification methodologies in the pursuit of a strategy tailored to a particular protein. The methods applied are reliant on exploiting individual differences between expression systems or the variations in specific protein properties. These bespoke strategies have not lent themselves to high-throughput methodologies. Ultimately the development of robust generic methods capable of simplifying and stabilizing the process, allowing automation, was necessary to increase throughput. This chapter describes a series of high-throughput methods used to express, purify, and quantify recombinant protein produced in E. coli or insect cells.
