Description

Gene 15 Protein, Bacteriophage P22 is a structural protein derived from the P22 bacteriophage, a virus that infects Salmonella bacteria. This protein is a critical component for molecular biology research, particularly in the study of viral assembly, capsid structure, and protein-protein interactions. It is essential for researchers and developers in pharmaceutical discovery, structural biology, and advanced biomaterials engineering who require high-purity, well-characterized biological reagents.

Application

• Structural Biology Research: Used as a model system for studying virus assembly, capsid dynamics, and macromolecular structure via techniques like cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography.
• Nanomaterial Development: Serves as a scaffold or template for constructing bio-inspired nanomaterials and drug delivery vehicles due to its precise and programmable assembly properties.
• Protein Interaction Studies: Employed in assays to investigate protein-protein interactions, folding mechanisms, and the thermodynamics of macromolecular complex formation.
• Virology & Bacteriophage Research: A key reagent for fundamental research into bacteriophage life cycles, host recognition, and the development of phage-based technologies.
• Bioconjugation & Labeling: Utilized as a platform for site-specific chemical modifications, fluorescent labeling, or attachment of other functional moieties for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
• Educational & Reference Standard: Provides a high-purity standard for laboratory courses and quality control in biopharmaceutical development.

Quality Control

Our Gene 15 Protein, Bacteriophage P22 is produced and tested under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high biological activity. Each lot is characterized for purity, identity, and functionality using advanced analytical techniques. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as purity (by SDS-PAGE and HPLC), concentration, and endotoxin levels are provided with every shipment to support your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted protein solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -80°C to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed tightly after use to maintain stability.
