Traces of (-)-beta-santalene and ber" + "gamontene have previously been shown to be produced by this enzyme as well.

The strep tag is a small, eight amino acid epitope tag th" + "at is translated onto the C terminus of the recombinant polypeptide. Its small size ensures that it will " + "not likely interfere with protein function, yet in most situations it is still prominent enough that the " + "common molecule streptavidin (in the form of Strep-tactin) can recognize and bind to it. Because anti-str" + "eptavidin antibodies are widely available, this opens the way for a range of possibilities, including sim" + "ple confirmation assays of synthase expression by western blotting and quick purification of the synthase" + " enzyme.

First, the size of the uncu" + "t fourth plasmid is equal to pSB1C3 plus the santalene synthase gene. Second, it was later noticed that the" + " plasmids were grown in a non-demethylated strain of E. coli. This would explain why no inserts were cut ou" + "t, since one enzyme used, ApaI, was dam methylation sensitive.
