feasibility study

The expression level of a protein will be optimized in a number of stages, tailored specifically for each protein and agreed with the customer before initiation. These stages are:

  • Codon usage optimization: If required genes can be synthesized allowing the possibility to optimize codon usage. This can in turn lead to increased expression levels. See the separate leaflet about gene synthesis for more information.

  • Fusion proteins: The fusion of a gene of interest to genes encoding known solubility enhancing proteins can improve the solubility and expression level of a protein.

  • Host strain: the expression construct will be introduced into different E. coli strains, specifically designed for protein expression.

  • Induction level: A range of inducer concentrations and induction periods will be tested to determine the optimal conditions.

  • Growth conditions: A range of growth temperatures and growth media will be tested to determine the optimum.
