New molecular reporters for rapid protein folding assays.

The GFP folding reporter assay uses a C-terminal GFP fusion to report on the folding success of upstream fused polypeptides. The GFP folding assay is widely-used for screening protein variants with improved folding and solubility, but truncation artifacts may arise during evolution, i.e. from de nov...
