Design Notes
We had to add a base at the end of the tag in such a way that when it was fused with the gene of the protein to be secreted, it would be an in-frame after the scar that would result due to standard assembly.
we therefore chose to add a 'C' to the end of the designed export tag to allow it to be fused in frame. this caused an addition of alanine when translated.
we checked the changes in secondary structure that this addition caused by the available online tools like SOPMA and SSpro. no significant changes were predicted
