Cyan Fluorescent Protein (CFP) is a genetic mutant of green fluorescent protein (GFP) originally derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. The fluorescence of EYFP was detected with an excitation filter of 485 nm and an emission filter of 545 nm, and that of ECFP was detected with filters of 420 and 486 nm (Perkin Elmer), respectively. In the present reporter assay, EYFP and ECFP were selected as a reporter protein and an internal control for normalization of transfection, respectively

HSV tag is a peptide epitope tag, sequence: QPELAPEDPED.

Well-characterized antibodies for epitope tags consisting of short sequences are widely used in the study of protein expression in various systems. The Nano-tag is a new streptavidin-binding peptide for both the purification and the detection of Nano-tagged proteins. This peptide possesses nanomolar-affinity for streptavidin and therefore is termed Nano-tag. The nano-tags have two types, Nano-tag15 (MDVEAWLGARVPLVET) and Nano-tag9 (MDVEAWLGAR), which bind to streptavidin with dissociation co

S-tag is the name of an oligopeptide derived from pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A). If RNase A is digested with subtilisin, a single peptide bond is cleaved, but the resulting two products remain weakly bound to each other and the protein, called ribonuclease S, remains active although each of the two products alone shows no enzymatic activity. The N-terminus of the original RNase A, also called S-peptide, consists of 20 amino acid residues, of which only the first 15 are required for ribon

Tandem affinity purification (TAP) is a purification technique for studying protein–protein interactions. It involves creating a fusion protein with a designed piece, the TAP tag, on the end. The original TAP method involves the fusion of the TAP tag to the C-terminus of the protein under study. The TAP tag consists of calmodulin binding peptide (CBP) from the N-terminal, followed by tobacco etch virus protease (TEV protease) cleavage site and Protein A, which binds tightly to IgG. The relati
