[off-topic] solubility after myristoylation



I am trying to myristoylate a protein (via the N-terminal glycine) using purified recombinant N-myristoyltransferase and myristoyl-CoA. However I am having problems with solubility. I can solubilize the unmyristoylated protein in 250 mM NaCl and 25 mM HEPES at pH 8.0.

I wonder if anyone on this listserv has had a protein precipitate during myristoylation. Were you ever able to solubilize it? If so, what conditions did you use (both for myristoylation and for solubilization)?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

Cheers,
Matt
