DisCoTune: versatile auxiliary plasmids for the production of disulphide‐containing proteins and peptides in the E. coli T7 system

Summary Secreted proteins and peptides hold large potential both as therapeutics and as enzyme catalysts in biotechnology. The high stability of many secreted proteins helps maintain functional integrity in changing chemical environments and is a contributing factor to their commercial potential. Di...
