13 aa long GS-linker

A 13 amino acid long GS linker (Glycine-Serine linker), which gives the possibility of a flexible linkage between protein domains.

Usage and Biology

The GS linker is a flexible linker that can connect different protein domains or regions. This stretch is rich in serine and glycine amino acids and thus provides high mobility to the protein regions conjugated to it. GS linkers are usually useful in connecting antibody fragments to achieve better antigen binding or improve protein folding.
