Hiya We usually add all N-terminal tags with a TeV cleavable linker. C-terminal tags always seem a pain to remove cleanly, because most highly specific recognition sequences (such as TeV) take advantage of P rather than P' specificity so you are usually left with a five (or so) residue tail. Actually has anyone any neat tricks for C-terminal tag removal?
