Getting started
- What are the basic elements necessary on an expression vector?
- What are common promoters used for protein expression?
- What is the difference between the Shine-Dalgarno sequence (also known as ribosome-binding site (RBS)) and a Kozak consensus sequence?
- What epitope tag should I choose for my experiment?
- Can you list the pros and cons of the different expression systems?
Troubleshooting
- My protein is not being expressed. Could you please offer me some suggestions?
- I’m getting antibiotic-resistant clones that are not expressing my gene of interest. What should I do?
- Expression of my secreted protein is not observed. What should I do?
- My expressed protein is not active in a functional assay. Why is this happening?
