Abstract
An ectodomain of gp41, the transmembrane fusion protein of HIV, without the fusion peptide region was expressed using pET system in E. coli. The expressed protein gp41core, was isolated as inclusion body and was purified by ion-exchange chromatography after solubilized in 6M urea. The purified denatured protein was renaturated and the folded domain of gp41core was identified by the presence of the proteolysis resistence domain and a high content of
