Recombinant plasmids were transformed into BL1 (DE3) cells for protein expression. They were then verified via Sanger DNA sequencing (Source Bioscience Ltd). The bacterial cells were grown as previously reported [28 (link)]. The GST-tagged recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography (columns) and quantified by the Bradford assay. Purified mutant proteins were analyzed on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) gels to verify protein production.
