Custom protein expression and purification |
|
Send us an expression plazmid for E. coli or P. Pastoris. We cultivate the biomass and isolate
your protein. The protein will be purified by using conventional purification protocols. The amount
and purity degree depends on your requirement. Typically we prepare proteins for research use in
the amount of 1 to tens mg. The purified proteins are suitable for all biochemical and biophysical
experimental methods, including crystalography, NMR, and others.

Construction of expression vectors |
|
We prepare a fully functional expression system from a genetic information you send to us. The work
contains PCR amplification of the gene, cloning to several expression plazmids and their sequence
verification, and testing expression in the corresponding cells. The expression plazmid will be
either sent to you for your own use or used for production of your protein in our laboratory.

 |
Development of purification strategies |
|
We are ready to help you with development or improvement of so far unknown or inefficient purification
strategy of your protein. This may also contain a construction of the expression vector (see above).
|
 |
Preparation of mutated proteins |
|
Using site-directed mutagenesis in the expression plazmid we prepare a protein containing one or more
mutations with respect to the original one. As the starting protein we can use your own protein or a
protein from our standard offer (see our catalog).
|
 |
Kinetic assays and inhibitor screening |
|
We support your research by development of kinetic assay for testing enzymatic or other biological
activity based on spectrophotometry. Furthemore, we perform screening of biological function of a set
of your compounds on your protein(s). Precise measurement of thermodynamic constants of processes like
enzyme inhibition or ligand binding is also available.
