Arabinose inducible Poly-His Reflectin A1 generator

Arabinose inducible Poly-His Reflectin A1 generator produces a poly-histidine (his-tagged) form of reflectin A1. Bacteria expressing this construct will produce Reflectin A1 with a poly-histidine tag to enable purification with a his-affinity column used in conjunction with nickel or cobalt resins. The purified protein has optical properties, best viewed when made into a thin film. First the protein must be dissolved in an ionic solvent such as HFIP (hazardous - use in fume hood) and then can be coated onto a highly clean smooth substrate. Silicon Wafers and glass microscope slides have been shown to work, a razorblade can be used to scrape across a single drop to form a thin film, but more uniform results can be achieved with the use of a flow coater or spin coater device.
