SBP-protein applications. Panel (A): use of SBPs for protein purification. (Left) Schematic illustration depicting the rapid and efficient purification of GFP-Car9 using a silica bead column via FPLC. SDS-PAGE results showing the elution of GFP-SBP using a lysine-containing buffer. (Right) Fraction of free protein (GFP and GFP-Car9) after incubation with silica gel beads, demonstrating the efficient attachment of the protein to silica via the Car9 modification.
