Proteases
The Protein Production labs prepare and supply H3c (PreScission) and TEV protease for general R&D applications. Both proteases are produced in E. coli using TFPP engineered vectors to give near-native HIS-tagged protease.
The expression procedure uses the Im9 solubility tag (which is self-cleaved) to ensure high-level production. The near native proteases are then purified using Ni2+-affinity chromatography and supplied at both high purity and specific activity.
