Improving the soluble expression of recombinant proteins by randomly shuffling 5' and 3' coding-sequence ends

Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. 2013 Dec;69(Pt 12):2580-2. doi: 10.1107/S0907444913018751. Epub 2013 Nov 19.

Abstract

Many structural genomics (SG) programmes rely on the design of soluble protein domains. The production and screening of large libraries to experimentally select these soluble protein-encoding constructs are limited by the technologies and efforts that can be devoted to a single target. Using basic technologies available in any laboratory, a method named `boundary shuffling' was devised to generate orientated libraries for soluble domain selection without impeding the target flow.

Keywords: boundary shuffling; soluble protein domains.
