DENV1 C (Capsid Protein | Dengue Virus Serotype I)

Usage and Biology

Flavivirus capsid (C) is a structural protein responsible for gathering the viral RNA into a nucleocapsid that forms the core of a mature virus particle.

Mature DENV capsid is a highly basic protein of 12 kDa that forms homodimers in solution with affinity for both nucleic acids and lipid membranes. The 100-residue monomer contains 26 basic amino acids and only 3 acidic residues.

Characterization

The sequence is derived from native dengue virus and optimized for Homo Sapiens using IDT Codon Optimization Tool. Our team checked the sequence length of synthesized oligo DNA and characterized it.

Figure 1: Result of the qualitative experiment - description comes here.

As shown in Figure 1, the band of DENV1 C come around 300 bp.

Analysis

Our team successfully validated that the sequence of DENV1 C was synthesized, and obtained enough amount of it for the transduction.
