F. Lavergnemazeau et al., LINEAR CORRELATION BETWEEN BACTERIAL OVEREXPRESSION OF RECOMBINANT PEPTIDES AND CELL LIGHT SCATTER, Applied and environmental microbiology, 62(8), 1996, pp. 3042-3046
Fusion of multiple copies of a test peptide leads to insoluble inclusi
on bodies. Their presence within bacteria increases either forward-ang
le light scattering or, to lesser extent, right-angle light scattering
. A linear correlation has been established between cell forward-angle
light scattering and the level of overexpression of atrial natriureti
c peptide. The correlation is valid only for unlysed cells and is prot
ein product specific.
