RhlR DBD was refolded in the presence of the charged amino acids l-arginine and l-glutamate.
2 mg/L culture of highly purified RhlR DBD were obtained.
RhlR DBD is folded and monomeric.
RhlR DBD is functional as it is capable of recognizing the rhlAB promoter.
This refolding and purification protocol will enable further biochemical and structural studies on RhlR DBD.
