Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one aspect, affinity tags for recombinant protein purification are described herein which, in some embodiments, can mitigate or overcome disadvantages of prior affinity tag systems. In some embodiments, for example, affinity tags described herein permit efficient elution of desired recombinant proteins with simplified solution systems, such as alkali metal salt solutions. An affinity tag described herein comprises an amino acid sequence including a repeating amino acid unit of BXXXBXX, wherein B is an amino acid selected from the group consisting of histidine, lysine and arginine and X is an amino acid selected from the group consisting of amino acids other than histidine, lysine and arginine.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An affinity tag for protein purification comprising: an amino acid sequence that comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. 2. The affinity tag of claim 1 , wherein the affinity tag binds heparin. 3. An affinity tag for protein purification comprising: an amino acid sequence that comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. 4. The affinity tag of claim 3 , wherein the affinity tag binds heparin.
