Expression of SeMet labeled proteins

Inoculate 2 l of the following media with 8 ml of seed culture (grown for 4 hours at 37°C in 2xYT):

1475 ml ddH₂O 400 ml M63 stock salts 20 ml of solution 1 20 ml of solution 2 20 ml of solution 3 20 ml of solution 4 20 ml of solution 5 2 ml of 1M MgSO₄ stock 20 ml of 20% glucose stock 8 ml of ampicillin stock (100 mg/ml) 10 ml of L-SeMet stock (10 mg/ml) 8 ml seed culture

aliquote the 2 liter solution into 8X 250 ml grow at 37°C over night until OD600=0.400 induce protein expression harvest cells 20 hours later
