Characterization
The total molecular weight of the composite component of Spycatcher-NW50-SpyTag is about 150kDa, and it can be seen that it can be expressed normally after IPTG induction (Figure 2).
Figure 2. SDS analysis of Spycatcher-NW50-SpyTag protein extract. Compared with the mother liquor without IPTG induction in the first column, it was obvious that proteins with required molecular weight were produced.
Due to the large molecular weight of the protein and the combined action of spytag-spycatcher, Spycatcher-NW50-SpyTag is prone to dimerization during actual protein extraction. Protein dimerization can be minimized by adding the detergent Triton X-100 to the refined extraction buffer and reducing the nickel column elution time during the refined extraction process. It should be used as soon as possible after protein extraction to prevent the protein from self-dimerizing after a period of time(Figure 3). A more specific exploration of protein dimerization conditions can be found in the engineering section of iGEM24_BNU-China.

Conclusion
According to the results of electron microscopy and DLS, Spycatcher-NW50-SpyTag and lipid DOPC can be successfully used to fabricate nanodiscs with a particle size of about 200-300nm(Figure 4).
Figure 4. Electron microscopy (a) and DLS results (b) of nanodiscs produced by Spycatcher-NW50-SpyTag. It can be seen that the two results are consistent, and the size of the nanodisc is about 200-300nm.
