Description
The Raghium inquisitor Anti Freeze Protein (RiAFP) is a 137 AA protein that prevents the growth of ice crystals. This protein is produced natively in the beetle Raghium inquisitor. (Kristiansen E, 2011)
About Safety
The RiAFP has no reported toxicity or hazardousness, but its important to remember to have the basic biosafety precautions using a biosecurity chamber when handling any transformed strains.
Notes
This part was designed by adding a 6xHis tag for affinity purification to the anti freeze protein from Raghium inquisitor. This part was codon optimized for its expression in E.coli.
