GST Enzymatic Digestion

submitted by: abnova
By Abnova - GST fusion proteins allow convenient affinity purification of many proteins of interest but the GST-tag may become inconvenient in various downstream applications. We use PreScission protease to digest the GST fusion proteins and the protein without GST-tag is obtained.
