Tobacco Etch Virus Protease Recombinant
Recombinant TEV Protease (rTEV) is a site-specific protease purified from E. coli. The protease can be used for the removal of affinity tags from fusion proteins. The seven-amino-acid recognition site for rTEV is Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Gly with cleavage occurring between Gln and Gly. The optimal temperature for cleavage is 30oC; however, the enzyme can be used at temperatures as low as 4oC.
The rTEV contains His tag.
The rTEV is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
