♦ Single-column purification without the use of proteases to remove the affinity tag
♦ Able to produce target protein without vector–derived amino acids
♦ Fusion to either C-terminus or N-terminus of target protein
♦ Isolation of proteins with or without an N-terminal methionine residue
♦ Ligation and labeling of recombinant proteins
♦ T7 promoter-driven system to achieve high levels of expression and tight transcriptional control in E. Coli
Description:
The IMPACT™ (Intein Mediated Purification with an Affinity Chitin-binding Tag) Kit utilizes engineered protein splicing elements (termed inteins) to purify recombinant proteins by a single column (1-3) (Figure 1). This kit distinguishes itself from other protein fusion systems by its ability to separate a recombinant protein from the affinity tag without the use of a protease.
