Description
This is a FLAG tag octapeptide special internal domain designed to be internal to the sequence of a protein. FLAG tags are a type of affinity tag that can be used to purify and/or measure the quantity of proteins.
Notes
The FLAG sequence AspTyrLysAspAspAspAspLys (DYKDDDDK) is one of the most commonly used FLAG tag sequences. Each of the amino acids in this octapeptide have two possible codon choices. For each amino acid, neither of the two codon choices appear to be rare in the common model organisms. So codons were selected to minimize repeats.
