A dual prokaryotic (E. coli) expression system (pdMAX).

In this study, we introduced an efficient subcloning and expression system with two inducible prokaryotic expression promoters, arabinose and lac, in a single plasmid in Escherichia coli. The arabinose promoter unit allows for the expression of a FLAG-tagged protein, while the isopropyl-β-D-thiogala...
