Purity: All recombinant enzymes are tagged with polyhistidine and purified by metal chelate affinity chromatography. In addition, some of the enzymes are further purified chromatographically to achieve a high percentage purity. Enzymes are typically greater than 90% purity. The recombinant clones used to make the enzymes have been DNA sequence to confirm identity to the wild type enzyme (ensuring that the recombinant enzymes have no mutations). We do not assay enzymes for contaminating enzymes. Therefore, the customer should test the suitability of an enzyme for a particular application on a small scale prior to purchasing a bulk quantity of a lot. The enzymes produced by Bayou Biolabs are provided to customer "as is" without any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and without any other warranty, express or implied.
Supplied: Enzymes are supplied in glycerol buffer. Enzymes are shipped on dry ice at customer’s expense. Please see the table below for enzymes currently available. Bulk quantities: Bulk quantities are available at low cost. Standard bulk quantities are 100 mg, 500 mg, 1 gram, 5 grams, and 10 grams. We can also package any bulk quantity specified by customer. We have capability for scaling up to produce batches of several hundred grams. Please contact customer service for price and availability.
Custom production: We can custom produce milligram to multiple gram quantities of any protein or enzyme. In general, we use high fidelity PCR to amplify the gene of interest and clone the gene in our proprietary expression vector. We recommend using polyhistidine tags to facilitate enzyme purification, although we can also produce native and GST tagged proteins. Several recombinant clones are selected for DNA sequencing to obtain a clone with no mutations. Fermentation of the desired clone is performed at the desired scale (8 liters, 16 liters, 100 liters, 400 liters, 800 liters), and the protein is purified chromatographically according to the customer’s specifications, in order to obtain desired purity. Production can be customized to accommodate customer needs. Please contact customer service for a price quote.
