Further characterization and engineering of an 11-amino acid motif for enhancing recombinant soluble protein expression
The further characterisation and development of the NT11 tag have provided valuable insights into the optimisation process for such small tags and expanded our understanding of its potential applications. The ability of the NT11 tag to be positioned at either the N- or C- termini within the protein construct without compromising its effectiveness to enhance soluble recombinant protein yields, makes it a valuable tool across a diverse range of proteins. Collectively, these findings demonstrate a promising approach to simplify and enhance the efficiency of soluble recombinant protein production.
