Sample preparation for NMR and crystallization have a lot in common. Except for crystallization we may need more and for NMR the final product is labeled with 13C

9. Proteases to cleave the fusion protein make sure it wont cut your protein too
10. Expression Systems E. coli
Baculovirus-mediated insect cell expression
Yeast in particular Pichia pastoris good for secreted proteins, our fermentor is suitable.
Mammalian-based systems, CHO or HEK293, correct folding and post-translational modification, time consuming, laborious and expensive
Cell free expression systems wheat germ extracts + plasmid or PCR product
11. Bacterial expression withEscherichia coli Cheap, simple, quick, amenable to HT, but
Eukaryotic proteins may not be modified correctly, Secretion to periplasmic space can be used to avoid the dreaded inclusion bodies that are so frequently formed by E. coli, Large complexes may be difficult
T7 based pET expression plasmids
Dual vectors for co-expression(complexes like tRPA, chaperones, stabilization)
Cells (Origami for correct disulfides, Rosetta for human codons, etc.)
12. Baculovirus-mediated insect cell protein expression Eukaryotic based expression system, therefore similar (but not identical) modification and processing patterns.
Baculovirus-mediated system uses a helper-independent virus, propagates to high titre, suspension culture, so you can generate relatively large amounts of protein.
More labor intensive and harder to streamline and adapt to HT than bacteria.
New systems exist using Gateway technology that make easier to do.
