An expanded library of orthogonal split inteins enables modular multi-peptide assemblies

Inteins allow the joining of protein segments through scarless ligation. Here the authors assess 34 inteins to establish a library of 15 mutually orthogonal split inteins for in vivo applications, 10 of which are also active in vitro.
