    Hallo,
    I have a problem to guet a kinase domain overexpressed with 0,5 mM IPTG for 2h at 37 C in supernatant. I try different Lysis buffer with socication but without results, the protein always in the pellet!
    if some one have some recommandations......

    I am a little confused. Are you having problems trying to extract protein? You mention changing the lysis buffers. If this is the case, please give me more details about your protocol so I can better help you.
    Or having difficulty in dissolving the obtained protein pellet? Some hints to dissolve the pellet: Sonication isn't always the best way to dissolve a protein pellet. Have you tried breaking up the pellet through pipetting? Or incubating the solution, if possible, at a higher temperature to help dissolve the protein? You may trying extending the incubation period at 37C. We have to incubate our samples overnight at 37C to dissolve the pellets.

    you may also try redissolving the protein in 5 to 8 M urea
