This document discusses several steps in the partial purification of proteins from cells, including: 1. Separation of proteins from cells through rupture of the cell membrane using chemicals or physical methods. 2. Precipitation of proteins from cell extracts using ammonium sulfate, which is done at 4°C overnight at a concentration based on the salt's saturation level. 3. Dialysis of the precipitated proteins against a buffer such as PBS to remove the ammonium sulfate before further purification steps.
