Controlling Inteins=
<p>Protein splicing allows for the introduction of major changes to a proteins sequence and structure even after translation. Although this mechanism alone offers a huge amount of possible applications, it is of advantage to have control over the time and location of the splicing reaction especially for <i>in vivo</i> applications.

To gain this control there are several approaches:
To gain this control there are several approaches:
-
For in vitro reactions this is quite easy: Just mix your samples to protein splicing. If it needs to be more elaborate, many inteins exist that can be controlled by the pH-value or the redox-state of their environment.   we have tried to develop a set of light-inducible intein-systems using the <i>Avena Sativa</i> LOV2 domain.
