Hi Fred,

I doubt His-trap column be any better. I never found much a difference
between these resins or columns. If you want to try, use His-Trap HP, not
His-Trap FF.

Doing batch binding may help you figure out the problem. In some cases,
protein binds better in batch mode. You can take beads out at time intervals
up to overnight for binding analysis.

I guess not working means the protein in the flow-through. Sometimes for
native purification, proteins don't come out of a column. But never
experienced anything like this under denatured conditions.

Good luck,

Chun

Just to let you know. No way, Talon also don't work. I am gonna try the 
GE His-trap column.
