Long-term storage of proteins

Abstract

This unit provides a summary of some of the issues that researchers face when attempting to store purified proteins. It briefly explains the stresses that induce protein aggregation the major causes for chemical degradation. It also discusses how to use various storage strategies to increase the long-term stability of proteins. When appropriate it points out critical mistakes to avoid. This unit provides a summary of some of the issues that researchers face when attempting to store purified proteins.
