Hello, I am currently reconstituting the light activated proton pump bacteriorhodopsin into giant unilamellar vesicles. It is important that I dissolve the protein in diethyl ether in order for the procedure to work. I was wondering if it is safe to make a stock solution to store bacteriorhodopsin in for an extended period of time(on the order of months)? If anyone has any insight on what factors might come into play or if they know from experience that it is safe or not it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adam
