| − | [https://parts.igem.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=Tag [Degradation] Tags] are genetic additions to the end of a sequence which mark a protein for degradation by various proteases within the cell. This effectively decreases the protein's half life<br>

| − | These are amino acid sequences which can be added to the C-terminal end of a protein. These sequences mark the protein for immediate degradation by intracellular proteases which specifically target the C-terminus tail of proteins.
