Design Notes

The sequence has been optimized for expression in E. coli.

The sequence encodes the amino acid sequence "QPPP", which is very difficult for the ribosomes in E. coli to translate [1]. We did not do it, but for future projects we would recommend altering this part of the sequence, either by mutation or when ordering the sequence.

Primers for cloning into pET-28a(+) between restriction sites NdeI and EcoRI:

fwd: 5'-GCGCCATATGGCTGTTTATAGGCTATGTGTAACTACAGGACCG-3'
rev: 5'-GCGCGAATTCTTAGATGCTAACGCTGTTCTCAATCAGTGGTGGG-3'
