This is a short peptide of 15 amino acids designed to bind with high affinity to silica and silica-like particles, designed as a tag to be attached to the C-terminus of polypeptides. This part was originally designed to be conjugated to the C-terminal of Ice Nucleation Protein allowing extracellular expression of the binding region

Silica binding peptide

Introduction

This BioBrick is a short peptide of 15 amino acids designed to act as a tag binding with high affinity to silica and silica-like particles. As a tag it can easily be added to the C-terminus of proteins using molecular biology techniques allowing the peptide to assist with purification or to serve other experimental processes related to silica binding.
