- Took dialyzed bag with purified eGFP-RiAFP and divided it into 12 eppendorfs, containing 1 mL each.  Flash-froze tubes in liquid nitrogen, then quickly used a hot edge to poke holes into top of eppendorfs to allow sublimation.  Tubes then placed in lyophilizer for 3 nights.

- Resuspended 1 L (500 mL) worth of eGFP-RiAFP (RiAFP) pellets in around 35 mL lysis buffer

-
- Sonicated (using Spiegel lab sonicator) with 1 s on/4 s off for 25 total minutes of sonication for each resuspended pellet (unforunately, RiAFP sample by itself was foaming when we returned...)
