title: A novel procedure for the efficient purification of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).
abstract: This report describes a novel, single-step strategy for the purification of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator from Sf9 cells, which will facilitate studies of the structure-function relationships of this clinically important molecule. The new method combines the use of the novel detergent sodium pentadecafluoro-octanoate with metal-affinity chromatography to produce a high yield of purified protein which can be functionally reconstituted as a chloride channel and an ATPase.
