    Abstract: A method of improving protein functionality includes obtaining a protein such as protein contained within exclusion bodies contained within bacteria or yeast used for the recombinant expression of the protein. The exclusion bodies are solubilized using a chaotropic agent such as guanidine or urea. The protein is then subject to denaturation conditions and optionally purified. A liquid containing the denatured protein is loaded into a vessel that is angled relative to horizontal. The vessel is then rotated in the angled configuration at a rate within that is less than 10,000 RPM for period of time. Refolded protein is formed by the high shear conditions formed in the thin film of fluid formed in the inner surface of the rotating vessel. Refolding can be performed in a batch mode or a continuous mode. The process may be scaled up for industrial applications by using multiple vessels.

    Abstract translation: 改进蛋白质功能的方法包括获得蛋白质,例如包含在用于重组表达蛋白质的细菌或酵母中的排除体内的蛋白质。 使用离液剂如胍或尿素将排除体溶解。 然后将蛋白质经历变性条件并任选地进行纯化。 含有变性蛋白质的液体被装载到相对于水平方向成角度的容器中。 然后将容器以成角度的构型以小于10,000RPM的速度旋转一段时间。 通过在旋转容器的内表面形成的流体薄膜中形成的高剪切条件形成重折叠蛋白质。 可以以分批模式或连续模式进行重折叠。 可以通过使用多个容器来扩大工业应用的进程。
