Design Notes

VMA Dead is a inactivated mutation of VMA, we constructed it by replace Asn-464 with Gln. We design this part as a control group of VMA. We constructed this part from VMA Dead and its exteins in original host. This VMA Dead part is an inactivated intein with 10 residues of native N-exteins and C-exteins of VMA at the junction. While fusing intein to protein, users can fuse the intein with it's flanking residues (we recommand 2~3 residues).


Source

We mutated a amino acid of VMA by PCR to get this part.
