Reverse-phase HPLC chromatogram profiles for P71T (A) and M180 (B) illustrating the improvement in yields due to dialysis in 2% acetic acid and cell lysis with 6 M guanidine hydrochloride, respectively. In both chromatograms the major band eluting at ~36 min contains the amelogenin protein and corresponds to ~68% Buffer B (70% aq. CH3CN in 0.1%). (A) Soluble fraction of the cell lysis material from P71T, prepared by heating in 2% acetic acid, following centrifugation without (red) and with (black) extensive dialysis in 1–2% acetic acid. (B) Soluble fraction of the cell lysis material from M180, prepared by heating in equal volumes of 2% acetic acid (black) or 6 M guanidine hydrochloride (purple).
