Abstract
His-tagging is the most widespread and versatile strategy used to purify recombinant proteins for biochemical and structural studies. Recombinant DNA methods are first used to engineer the addition of a short tract of poly-histidine tag (His-tag) to the N-terminus or C-terminus of a target protein. The His-tag is then exploited to enable purification of the "tagged" protein by Immobilized Metal Affinity Chromatography (IMAC). Here, we describe efficient procedures for the isolation of highly purified His-tagged target proteins from an E. coli host using IMAC.Entities:
