LEXSY: Solubility and Functionality of expressed Proteins

Incorrect folding and insufficient solubility - resulting in compromised biological activity - are the major shortcomings of prokaryotic expression systems. Due to LEXSY’s fully eukaryotic protein synthesis/folding/modification machinery most proteins of higher organisms expressed in LEXSY are correctly folded and processed and therefore, are obtained in a fully functional state.

Selected examples of LEXSY-expressed proteins with full biologic activity:
