Abstract

Green fluorescent protein (GFP), a commonly used reporter protein, is widely used in recombinant protein expression studies because of its unique fluorescent properties. In this study, the production of recombinant GFP protein in E. coli was used as an example to study the expression and solubility of GFP protein by varying temperature, IPTG concentration, induction time, galactose and lactose extracts. The ultimate goal is to optimize the expression of recombinant GFP protein in E. coli by analyzing the best expression conditions using the reaction surface methodology (RSM), which will provide a reference for industrial production. The results of RSM indicate that the optimal conditions for soluble GFP protein expression are: time: 4h, temperature: 35 ℃, yeast extract: 5g/L, IPTG concentration: 500uM, galactose: 5g/L.
