Question

What is deemed to be the most significant feature of the expression vectors?

Answer 1

Expression vector:

1. Expression Vector is a plasmid or virus used to express genes in cells.
2. The tightly coiled promoter region is the most significant component of the expression vector.
3. The proteins in expression vectors are expressed under certain conditions like the presence of an inducer, change in temperature, and removal of repressor.
4. Using expression vectors, small tags could be fused into desired proteins.
5. The tags allow proteins of interest to be purified and separated.
