Induction
of NS4B synthesis has toxic effects - it arrests bacterial cell growth.
At 37oc protein
synthesis progresses faster, and thus the growth arrest effects are more
profound.
.
Q4
How
can we improve NS4B expression?
Read
ALL
answers and choose between "right" and "wrong".
There
may be more than one "right" answer.
1. Try another bacterial strain, which gives a higher protein yield such as BL21(DE3).
3. Use a richer growth medium to support better yields of protein synthesis.
5. An original idea - abandon the project !!!
Have
you examined all possibilities?
Let's
examine the results obtained using the Rosetta bacterial strain.
