This Blue Flame Award is for a plasmid encoding an improved SUMO protease enzyme, and it was the work of an amazing team: Kara Lau, Vladimir Baytshtok, Tessa Howard, Brooke Nickerson, JayLee Johnson, Lauren Carter, David Baker and Chris Lima www.jbc.org/article/S002...
jbc.orgDiscovery and engineering of enhanced SUMO protease enzymesSmall ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is commonly used as a protein fusion domain to
facilitate expression and purification of recombinant proteins, and a SUMO-specific
protease is then used to remove ...
If you found this SUMO protease helpful, check out our latest publication which builds on it and makes it even better: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Hopefully another 100+ research labs around the world will benefit!
