Screening the effects of solubility tags and their removal (detagging) with 3C protease on cell-free protein expression using the eProtein Discovery™ System

The ability to evaluate the effect of different solubility tags on protein expression and the impact of their removal can be done simultaneously on eProtein Discovery. Data in this application note validates the benefit of having a solubility tag during expression and confirming that removal of the solubility tag retains yield.

From this reading you'll get an appreciation of the following:

  • Protein targets can be difficult to make.
  • Solubility tags are a useful tool to help make difficult targets.
  • Solubility tags are not always tolerated in downstream processes.
  • eProtein Discovery enables you to get the benefits of solubility tags while still delivering native untagged proteins.
