Abstract excerpt
A 693-base pair gene coding for the 27,132-dalton dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) domain of the thymidylate synthase-dihydrofolate reductase (TS-DHFR) bifunctional protein of Plasmodium falciparum was designed to have Escherichia coli codon preference and multiple unique restriction sites and was chemically synthesized. The gene was overexpressed (> 50% total cellular protein) in E. coli as insoluble inclusion...
