Protein splicing is a naturally occurring post‐translational process in which inteins, as self‐excising protein segments, precisely remove themselves from a host polypeptide and concomitantly ligate ...

Protein yield and ease of purification are two important criteria in choosing a system for the expression/ purification of recombinant proteins. The IMPACT (Intein Mediated Purification with an ...

Self-removing tags can be used for simple and effective purification of recombinant proteins and peptides. The key component of these tags is an intein, which is a protein element with the ability to ...

Why do problems occur with a special variant of 'protein glues', the split inteins, that severely limit their use in producing proteins? A team has now answered this question. Proteins are the ...

Proteins are fundamental building blocks of life, composed of folded peptide chains formed by sequences of amino acids. They perform a wide range of functions, from maintaining cellular structures to ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. They consist of folded peptide chains, which in turn are made up of a series of amino acids. From stabilizing cell structure to catalyzing chemical reactions, ...
