abstract：:High level expression of recombinant proteins in bacteria often results in their aggregation into inclusion bodies. Formation of inclusion bodies poses a major bottleneck in high-throughput recovery of recombinant protein. These aggregates have amyloid-like nature and can retain biological activity. Here, effect of ex...
