Hi Matthew, By now, you have received many posts telling you both how efficient and inefficient TEVp is. You might be confused. This seeming contradiction can be explained by a few events, among many others: Inaccessibility of cleavage site, absence of reducing agents, and presence of deterge

Hi Matthew, TEV protease is very robust. I normally digest with 1:100 ratio according to the OD280. I normally digest at 4C for overnight around 16-18 hours. Make sure your tev protease site are not inaccessible and buried inside. best Xiaohu On Mon, May 24, 2010 at 12:27 PM, Matthew Merski <

Hello all, I am working with a protein that is expressed as with an N-terminal domain that is normally cleaved for activation of the protein (and crystallization). For in vitro reasons I've needed to switch the normal site to a TEV site. However, even though the TEV site is in the same place as t
