The best way to make own lysis buffer is to optimize the ingredient concentration to best suit the requirement.
The best buffer for maintaining the native form of a protein is a non-denaturing buffer. It consists of:
The best buffer for obtaining denatured protein is SDS lysis buffer. It consists of:
For obtaining sub-cellular proteins (mitochondrial or nuclear proteins), the best buffer would be radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer. It consists of
Possible variations in the buffer constituents include varying detergent concentration, increasing salt concentration, or changing the detergents (such as saponin, CHAPS, digitonin, etc.,) in the protocol
