Critical reflections on synthetic gene design for recombinant protein expression

Abstract excerpt

Gene synthesis enables the exploitation of the degeneracy of the genetic code to boost expression of recombinant protein targets for structural studies. This has created new opportunities to obtain structural information on proteins that are normally present in low abundance. Unfortunately, synthetic gene expression occasionally leads to insoluble or misfolded proteins. This could be remedied by recent insights...
