Usage and Biology

This is the single chain variable fragment (scFv) of an antibody that have ability of binding aflatoxin. This part basically shares the same sequence with BBa_K2382011, except for a start codon ATG at the beginning.

Since bacteria can’t produce the whole antibody, we decide to use scFv to replace it. It contains two polypeptide chains linked by a linker.
