This page should point you to the many different general and lab-specific protocols describing tissue and cell lysis and serve as forum for comparison. The ups and downs of various methods from sonication, homogenization, freeze-thaw cycles, and detergent-based lysis are examined below.
most efficient method of cell fractionation
problem: heat build up which can denature proteins (proportionate to length of sonication)
precaution: do on ice and sonicate intermittantly
material: ultrasonication bath or rods
best for animal tissue; less suitable for cells
precaution: do on ice to reduce heat build-up and denaturation
material: drills (polytron), pestle/tube (dounce) bead beaters
least effective method
plus: does not denature proteins as much as other methods
material: pestle and mortar, liquid nitrogen
chemical method of lysis
problems: detergent may inhibit subsequent reactions
problems: detergent may disrupts protein interactions
no additional material required, just the chemicals and typical tubes
