Intein-mediated purification of a recombinantly expressed peptide

John A. Pezza, Karen N. Allen and Dean R. Tolan


A 26 amino acid peptide has successfully been purified via recombinant expression as an intein fusion protein accompanied by cleavage without the need for any exogenous proteases or cofactors, thus offering a practical, inexpensive approach to produce isotopically labelled peptides.
