Expression and purification of recombinant proteins

Various biophysical methods require large amounts of recombinantly expressed and purified proteins. Additionally, preparation of stable isotope labeled protein is a prerequisite for elucidating their three-dimensional structures by NMR. Therefore, we construct and use efficient recombinant expression systems for the proteins of our interest.
