After protein precipitation, pellet should be dissolved in?
Answers
I would suggest you to try to vortex your pellet with sample buffer first before putting it onto the hot plate and add more sample buffer to dissolve it. Normally when I encounter TCA precipitation, I will load 60uL of 1X sample buffer to the pellet in a eppendorf and have no trouble dissolving with various recombinant protein(whether soluble or inclusion body)
As to your second point of view, I think its fine but you need to make sure the protein as a high enough concentration in the SDS-PAGE for western or do a TCA precipitation after sonication. As for me, my protein's signal is way to high on Western after sonication then TCA precipitation.
