Design Notes
IDT Codon Optimization for E. coli. Peptide tags kept under 9 residues in length due to lack of expression for longer sequences in past work [7][12]
Source
The gene pilA from Geobacter sulfurreducens (NCBI: NC_002939.5) was codon optimised for expression in Escherichia coli and synthesised by IDT. The peptide tag was adapted from Zhao et al. 2007. [1]
