A peptide fusion tag and accompanying recombinant capture reagents have been developed on the basis of the peptide-PDZ domain interaction and affinity clamps, a new class of affinity reagent. This system allows for single-step purification under mild conditions and stable capture of a tagged protein. The subnanomolar affinity, high force resistance (>30 pN), small size ( approximately 25 kDa, approximately one-sixth of the size of IgG), and monomeric nature of the affinity clamp are all superior ...[more]
