Dear Dhiraj, You can use coiled-coil domain to dimerize your protein. Please look at those exemplary publications: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3923517/#R12 https://www.nature.com/articles/nsb877 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3375751/

Dear Colleagues, With regard to the use of GST as a dimerizing fusion partner, the following paper from my lab provides a well documented example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9336840 Cheers, Arne Am 24.09.20 um 09:27 schrieb Barone, Matthias: Dear Dhiraj I just recently had to check

Hi Dhiraj, you could also consider making a fusion protein of your protein with itself, with a suitable long linker (gly-ser-gly-ser etc.?) in between. At least that dimer won't dissociate. Best, Herman Von: CCP4 bulletin board Im Auftrag von Srivastava, Dhiraj Gesendet: Mittwoch, 23.

Thanks everyone for all the nice suggestions. regarding Matthew's question, Yes, There is a possibility of polydispersity due to the proteins making chain/aggregate, however the affinity between the dimeric protein A and monomeric protein B is poor and kinetics of dissociation is very fast thus

I was thinking the form of GFP that dimerizes. This would also make it easy to track where the protein is. On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 1:28 PM Diana Tomchick < diana.tomch...@utsouthwestern.edu> wrote: > Any dimeric tag should work if you add a long enough linker to satisfy > your distance

Hi Dhiraj, You could try a C-terminal Fc-tag if it is an extracellular protein, e.g. see pHL-FcHis vector described in the supplement of PMID 17001101. Best wishes, Tomas On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 6:08 PM Srivastava, Dhiraj wrote: > > Hi > I want to make my protein dimeric to increase its

Any dimeric tag should work if you add a long enough linker to satisfy your distance criterion. GST, for example. Download the coordinates and get a rough idea how long the linker would have to be for your protein. Diana ** Diana R. Tomchick

Hi I want to make my protein dimeric to increase its affinity for its interaction partner which is a dimer. does anyone know a suitable tag/fusion protein which can be used as C terminal fusion for this purpose? I can not use any of the leucine zipper as I am looking for the distance
