ABSTRACT:
A method for refolding an enzyme from a misfolded configuration to a second native and active configuration is presented. The method comprises adding a linear alkyl detergent to a misfolded enzyme to form an enzyme-detergent complex. Then the enzyme-detergent complex is contacted with a cyclodextrin to allow the enzyme to assume a second active configuration. The misfolded enzyme may have been previously denatured by heat or by chemical means other than a detergent.
