Click-Chemistry

Click-chemistry was first introduced by K. Berry Sharpless in 2001. It describes a chemical reaction which builds substances by joining small units together. Click-reactions are fast and purposeful with high yields.
The most popular click-reaction is azide alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition with Copper (Cu) as catalyst at room temperature.
Now you can use this highly efficient technology for labeling of DNA or RNA via solid-phase synthesis or PCR. Furthermore, it is possible to introduce up to three different modifications onto one position of the same DNA strand. Of course, we offer different kinds of non-fluorescent and fluorescent labels.

High Yield Gene Expression with the new T7 RNA Polymerase Gene Expression System!

This system combines the benefits of the tightly regulated and strong T7 RNA polymerase gene expression system and alkaline protease free Bacillus megaterium.

The T7 RNAP gene expression system is tightly regulated and efficiently inducible through the xylA operon and the strong T7 RNAP promoter resulting in stable, high yield protein production up to 8-fold increased in comparison to common xylose inducible expression (Fig. 1).

The system is based on two parallel-replicating plasmids: pT7-RNAP and pPT7.
In addition to the t7 rnap gene under control of the strong xylA promoter pT7-RNAP contains the genes of ampicillin and chloramphenicol for easy selection in E. coli (AmpR) and B. megaterium (CmR).
pPT7 is responsible for the T7 RNAP-dependent expression of the target gene. Downstream of the T7 promoter it comprises a multiple cloning site with ten unique restriction enzyme cleavage sites. Additionally, the plasmid carries two resistances to ampicillin (in E. coli) and tetracycline (in B. megaterium).

Fig. 1 Comparison of GFP amounts produced by variant expression systems. GFP produced by B. megaterium carrying the common xylose-regulated Plasmide pRBBm34 (square), B. megaterium transformed with the T7 expression system plasmids (circle) and B.megaterium with the T7 expression system plasmids treated with rifampicin. (Gamer et al., 2009)

Pretransformed B. megaterium protoplasts!

For your convenience we offer B. megaterium protoplasts pretransformed with pT7-RNAP, so that you just have to insert your gene of interest into pPT7 and transform the pretransformed protoplasts with this plasmid.

Macromolecular Crystallography

Macromolecular Crystallography is a technique used to study biological molecules such as proteins, to a resolution higher than ~0.5 nm (~ 5 Å). This high resolution helps elucidate the complex mechanism by which these macromolecules carry out their functions in living cells and organisms. MoBiTec now offers Screens, plates and more: all you need for crystallization of biological macromolecules.

NICE® Expression System for Lactococcus lactis

Controlled gene expression in L. lactis – an emerging alternative for recombinant protein production

Next to the wealth of traditional food applications, L. lactis is increasingly used for modern biotechnological applications such as the production of recombinant proteins for food, feed, pharma and biocatalysis applications. In addition to to the easy genetic accessibility of L. lactis the Nisin Controlled gene Expression (NICE®) system has played a key role in this development.

Features

  • The system is fully food grade
  • No endotoxins are produced
  • No inclusion bodies
  • No spores
  • No extracellular proteinases
  • Tightly controlled gene expression allows production of toxic proteins
  • Simple fermentation, scale-up and down stream processing

EosFP - Green to Red Photoconvertible Fluorescent Protein for Local Marking

 
 

Our portfolio of fluorescent proteins has been extended by a new fluorescent protein that allows UV/blue-inducible, permanent, bright and fast photoconversion from green to red wave length. These properties make it an excellent choice as a marker for tracking of cells, compartments or proteins in live cells, as well as a nanoscopy marker using photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM).

New brochure on Molecular Screening Technology available from MoBiTec

 
 

This 16-page brochure focuses on several yeast one- and two-hybrid systems and a phagemid system, that are useful for high-throughput molecular screening of protein-protein and DNA-protein interactions. Further tools, such as biochemical assays, immunological and fluorescence-based methods, are available from MoBiTec as well. The yeast two-hybrid system has rapidly become one of the most widely used techniques in molecular biology. It still is the method of choice to identify protein-protein interactions from either cDNA libraries or known gene sequences in vivo. The method relies on the transactivation of reporter genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae identifying positive interactions.
