Protein Expression and Analysis

The development of biotechnology, genetic engineering, and cloning has opened many possibilities of protein expression and isolation of heterologous proteins for research purposes. The ability to produce and purify an abundance of a desired recombinant protein can permit a wide range of possibilities including, its use in industrial processes, or its use to diagnose or treat disease. For large scale applications such as an antibody, enzyme, or vaccine production, the amount of protein required is significantly high, in such cases, the system in which the user of expression of the protein is must be easy to culture and maintain, grow rapidly, and produce large amounts of protein. Protein analysis is the bioinformatics study of protein structure, it’s interaction and function which are present in complex biological samples.
