Troubleshooting

Problem Potential Cause and Solution
Protein is detected in the negative control The GST-tagged domain is sticking to the resin. Try increasing the salt concentration of the washes, Triton X-100 concentration and/or the number of washes
Signal is very weak as compared to positive control The wash conditions may be too stringent. Try lowering the salt concentration or Triton X-100 concentration in the wash buffer
