As others, I always use TCA:
1. add 1/10 vol of
100% TCA, that is 100 mg pr. 100 ml final solution
0.2% Sodium Deoxycholate, 0.2 mg pr. total 100 ml
The deoxycholate precipitates when diluted and helps to bring down the protein
precipitate
2. spin like hell in a tabletop microfuge at 4 degrees celcius. No need for
ice. I always spin about 20 min., but perhaps shorter times will also work.
3. remove supernatant and redissolve in an appropriate amount of 2x SDS-PAGE
loading buffer
4. if the sample turns yellow add just enough base, eg. 1M Tris or NaOH to
make it blue again
Good luck
