IIST - protein purification and ligation
The IIST (Ion-Inducible Self-Cleavage Tag) –project is based on novel inteins, self-excising protein segments that have potential to be used for purification, modification and production of peptides and biologics which is a billion dollar international business. The technology, developed at the University of Helsinki, could be used for preclinical research as well as industrial scale production of for example peptide drugs.
