The western blot shows that the enzyme came out in the flow-through and eluted at an imidazole concentration of 10mM. Usually this elute is used to remove proteins that bind non-specifically to the nickel column. However, the fact that the band is present on the Western Blot suggests that the his tag is able to bind specifically.

Full Cutinase Construct on psB1A3 backbone.


Through p-nitrophenyl butyrate (pNPB) assays, the UC Davis team gathered enough data to determine that the LC-Cutinase part (BBa_K936000) incorporated in this part most likely exhibits its intended function as an esterase. Additionally, the Cutinase part with a pelB tag (BBa_K936013) has been found to be secreted from the cells expressing it. A detailed description of these assays can be found on the Module Engineering Project page: http://2012.igem.org/Team:UC_Davis/Project/Catalyst.

The western blot shows that the enzyme came out in the flow-through and eluted at an imidazole concentration of 10mM. Usually this elute is used to remove proteins that bind non-specifically to the nickel column. However, the fact that the band is present on the Western Blot suggests that the his tag is able to bind specifically.
