How to keep protein in Phosphatased Form - Run Co-IP need to have protein in phosphatased form (Nov/13/2007 )

I need to run a Co-IP which can tell me, does my protein work with certain substrate at it phosphated or non-phosphated form? Is there any chemical I can use to ensure that? I know I can use NaF to keep them in non-phosphataed form ... But what about the Phosphated one?

NaF is an old-fashioned broad inhibitor of phosphoprotein phosphatases; if you like to save phosphorylation, add NaF (if you have no better PPP-inhibitor)

It would be better to run along side with an assay to make sure no phosphorylation is saved ... right? What do I need to add?

may be I miss the point: Do you like to save phosphorylations or try to get rid off it? wacko.gif
